Most women will get a urinary tract infection (or UTI) at some point. Yes, men can get them too, but they’re more common for women. With the rectum, vagina and urethra in close proximity, there’s bound to be some cross contamination.
So how can we avoid UTIs? Nurse Practitioner Emily Shama Barnes answers Sarah’s questions about causes, symptoms, treatments and whether cranberry juice is a cure all. We also discuss the symptoms of UTIs in older people. They’re not at all the same as for younger people!
