New Delhi:
Women often suffer from urinary tract infections (UTIs) and drinking an additional three pints of water a day may notably lessen the risk urinary tract infections in women, a study suggests.
The study coming from the University of Miami in the US revealed that women are more vulnerable to UTIs than men as they have shorter urethra, a tube that connects the urinary bladder with urinary meatus and removes the fluids from the body. This enables the bacteria to travel from the rectum and vagina to the bladder.
