What Causes UTI
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are primarily caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the most common culprit, accounting for about 90% of cases. Other causes include poor hygiene, sexual activity, and certain medical conditions like diabetes. Identifying what causes UTI helps in effective prevention and treatment.
