Explain factors that contribute to UTI's and why. - Answer-Obstruction prevents
complete emptying, creating a continuous pool of urine where bacteria grow.
Stones can cause obstruction and their rough surface causes mucosal damage,
creating an ideal spot for bacteria to grow.
Diabetes mellitus results in excess glucose in the blood, which provides a rich medium
for bacterial growth.
Females may use douches, diaphragms, or washes that can inflame tissue and
contribute to colonization. May also experience bladder displacement during preg.
Proximity of urethra to anus increases susceptibility to colonization.
Males may experience and increase in prostate size which can produce urinary stasis.
Aging can cause urinary stasis from enlarged prostate in men and cystoceles or
prolapse in women. Use of certain drugs in older adults may delay bladder emptying.
Sexual activity is the strongest risk factor for an uncomplicated cystitis. Bacteria can be
introduced to the urethra during sex.
Use of ABX can change immunity and normal flora, which creates an opportunity for
bacteria overgrowth.
