Constipation
Your poop is a leading UTI cause to be aware of. Constipation makes it challenging to empty your urinary bladder completely. This translates into trapped bacteria having lots of time to grow and multiply to cause infection. On the flip side, fecal incontinence or diarrhea can also double your risk of getting frequent UTI. It is because bacteria from diarrhea or loose stool can easily cross and reach your vagina and urethra to cause infection.
