What is a Urinary Tract Infection?
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), such as cystitis, are a very common problem in many women. They affect more women than men, and can occur at any age. Most forms of cystitis are caused by bacteria that live in the bowel. They are harmless in the bowel, however when they reach the urethra and head to the bladder they can cause an infection.
