Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common occurrence for many Canadians, particularly women. In fact, according to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, Canadian women make about 500.000 visits to doctors every year due to UTIs. To understand how UTIs occur, you must first understand how the urinary system works. Made up of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra,, the urinary system begins In the kidneys, where its main function is to remove liquid waste from the blood in the form of urine. The kidneys remove urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons. Together with water and other waste substances, urea forms the urine as it passes through the nephrons and down the renal tubules of the kidney. Urine is then moved from the kidneys to the bladder through two tubes called ureters. The muscles in the ureter walls continually tighten and relax, forcing urine downward, away from the kidneys, and into the bladder, if urine backs up or is allowed to stand still, a kidney infection can develop.
