environments (Naish and Hallam, 2007). These infections are attributed to bacteria. While it is a waste product by definition, containing salts and other wastes, urine does not
typically house bacteria. When bacteria penetrate the bodys bladder or kidney, however, they reproduce. The result is a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections that occur because
of bladder infection are referred to as cystitis and are the least concerning from a physiological standpoint. When this infection centers in the kidney, however, it is referred to
as pyelonephritis and can be relatively serious. Both cystitis and pyelonephritic can affect young and old, male and female (Naish and Hallam, 2007).
The causative factors in urinary tract infections can vary significantly. While these infections can strike anyone, women it seems are particularly vulnerable (Bush and
Clemens, 2007). Because of the proximity of the urethra to the anus it is easy for contamination to occur in female patients (Bush and Clemens, 2007). This is
particularly true when the patient does not use proactive toilet habits to prevent contamination from their own feces (Bush and Clemens, 2007). An additional complicating factor for women is
that, unlike males, they do not have the advantages of prostatic secretions that act as a sort of bacteriocide (Breen, Wanserski and Smith, 2007).
Sexually active women are also particularly susceptible to infection. Pregnancy can make a woman more susceptible as well and men become more vulnerable to infection when
they have enlarged prostate glands (Naish and Hallam, 2007). Another factor that increases susceptibility for both men and women is allergic reactions to food or such things as
