I am slightly allergic to cats, but no real reaction. September 21, 2009 | medhelp.org. All of the cold symptoms went away, but the mucus in the back of my throat is still there! ...I'm currently taking a nasal steroid and Singulair, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
Bacteria(bak-TIHR-ee-uh), a type of germ that gets into your urinary tract, cause a UTI. Wiping from back to front after a bowel movement (BM). Germs can get into your urethra, which has its opening in front of the vagina(vuh-JEYE-nuh). Having sexual intercourse. Germs in the vagina can be pushed into the urethra.
Hormones are one reason. In pregnancy, they cause changes in the urinary tract, and that makes women more likely to get infections. Also, your growing uterus presses on your bladder. That makes it hard for you to let out all the urine in your bladder. Leftover urine is a likely source of infection.
