Urinary Tract Infections (UTI Infections)
Who Can Get UTI Infections?
UTI’s can afflict anyone, from babies to seniors. The most common group to become infected with a UTI, however, is adult women.
One of the most common reasons women have stinky urine is that they’ve got a UTI.
Men are more resistant to UTI infections. Even if a man is exposed to the bacteria that cause UTI’s, he may not become infected. If the bacteria does get into his system, his body will just flush it out through his urine after a few days.

How Do I Get Rid of a UTI?​
Most often you’ll need antibiotic treatment. That’s not really a pleasant prospect, but it’s much better than the alternative- having urine odor that is horrible, urination that is always painful, and possible serious effects if the infection is not treated.

If your UTI stems from an infection in your urethra, you may notice burning during urination.
Can Men or Children Get Urinary Tract Infections?
Yes. Women are most susceptible to urinary tract infections, but a UTI can happen to anyone. One of the most common reasons people have stinky urine is that they’ve got a UTI.
Men are more resistant to urinary tract infections than women are. Even if a man is exposed to the bacteria that cause UTIs, he may not actually develop a urinary tract infection. Part of the reason for this is that males have longer urethras than females do, so bacteria have to travel further to reach the urinary tract. In the time that takes, it’s highly likely the bacteria will get flushed out by urination.
Even a baby can get a UTI. In the case of small children, it is even more important to seek out a doctor’s advice if the child is having symptoms of a UTI. Children’s immune systems are not yet fully developed, so a UTI can quickly get out of control. The child also may not be able to tell you about the burning during urination or constant urge to urinate.
