The facts...

UTIs are caused when bacteria, especially E. coli, enter your urinary tract through the urethra. E. coli lives harmlessly in the gut and anus, but if it travels from the anus to the urethra, it can multiply in the urinary tract and cause infections. Here are three types of UTI's to look out for...

Urethritis – infection in the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body)

Pyelonephritis – infection in the kidney (also known as nephritis)

Cystitis – infection in the bladder (the organ that collects and stores urine)
