If bacteria enter the urethra and bladder, they can cause a urinary tract infection, also called a UTI or cystitis. The infection affects women significantly more often than men, because the urethra in women is shorter, making it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder. More than half of all women get a urinary tract infection at some point in their lives, and the risk clearly increases after menopause. In older men, difficulty urinating or small amounts of urine can be signs of prostate problems. Men with prostate problems have a higher risk of developing urinary tract infections..
