Some factors make it easier for bacteria to enter or stay in the urinary tract, such as:
- Vesicoureteral reflux in which urine flow backs up into the ureters and kidneys.
- Brain or nervous system illnesses (such as myelomeningocele or spinal cord injury).
- Bubble baths or tight-fitting clothes (girls).
- Changes or birth defects in the structure of the urinary tract.
- Not urinating often enough during the day.
- Wiping from back (near the anus) to front after going to the bathroom. In girls, this can bring bacteria to the opening where the urine comes out.https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000505.htm*
