Ever wondered why you get UTI symptoms post-period? We ask the experts to explain whether there really is a hormonal link between infections and menstruation.
explains: “UTIs are most commonly caused by bacteria from faeces entering the urinary tract, and unfortunately women are more prone to developing them than men because the urethra is shorter, meaning bacteria is more likely to reach the bladder and cause an infection.”
It turns out that we’re not imagining things: the experts agree that anecdotally there is a connection, as Dr Lakhani explains: “Lots of women report UTIs around the time of their period, and there are definitely factors which can contribute to this link, such as hormone imbalances, stress, sex and hygiene.
