UTIs typically occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and begin to spread in the bladder. The urinary system is designed to keep out bacteria. But the defenses sometimes fail. When that happens, bacteria may take hold and grow into a full-blown infection in the urinary tract.


The most common UTIs occur mainly in women and affect the bladder and urethra.

Infection of the bladderInfection of the urethra

This type of UTI is usually caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli). E. coli is a type of bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. But sometimes other bacteria are the cause

Having sex also may lead to a bladder infection, but you don't have to be sexually active to develop one. All women are at risk of bladder infections because of their anatomy. In women, the urethra is close to the anus. And the urethral opening is close to the bladder. This makes it easier for bacteria around the anus to enter the urethra and to travel to the bladder.


This type of UTI can happen when GI bacteria spread from the anus to the urethra. An infection of the urethra can also be caused by sexually transmitted infections. They include herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia and mycoplasma. This can happen because women's urethras are close to the vagina.




For Women
For Everyone
Female anatomy. Women have a shorter urethra than men do. As a result, there's less distance for bacteria to travel to reach the bladder.

Urinary tract problems. Babies born with problems with their urinary tracts may have trouble urinating. Urine can back up in the urethra, which can cause UTIs.

Sexual activity. Being sexually active tends to lead to more UTIs. Having a new sexual partner also increases risk.

Blockages in the urinary tract. Kidney stones or an enlarged prostate can trap urine in the bladder. As a result, risk of UTIs is higher.

Certain types of birth control. Using diaphragms for birth control may increase the risk of UTIs. Using spermicidal agents also can increase risk.

A suppressed immune system. Diabetes and other diseases can impair the immune system — the body's defense against germs. This can increase the risk of UTIs.

Menopause. After menopause, a decline in circulating estrogen causes changes in the urinary tract. The changes can increase the risk of UTIs.

Catheter use. People who can't urinate on their own often must use a tube, called a catheter, to urinate. Using a catheter increases the risk of UTIs. Catheters may be used by people who are in the hospital. They may also be used by people who have neurological problems that make it difficult to control urination or who are paralyzed.

A recent urinary procedure. Urinary surgery or an exam of your urinary tract that involves medical instruments can both increase the risk of developing a UTI.

UTIs don't always cause symptoms. When they do, they may include:

  • A strong urge to urinate that doesn't go away
  • A burning feeling when urinating
  • Urinating often, and passing small amounts of urine
  • Urine that looks cloudy
  • Urine that appears red, bright pink or cola-colored — signs of blood in the urine
  • Strong-smelling urine
  • Pelvic pain, in women — especially in the center of the pelvis and around the area of the pubic bone

Types of urinary tract infections

Each type of UTI may result in more-specific symptoms. The symptoms depend on which part of the urinary tract is affected.

Men's health test

As a male, your testosterone levels—along with other key hormones—influence many areas of your life, including performance.

Our at-home complete hormone test for males measures free testosterone along with three other hormones, DHEA, cortisol, and estradiol.

Once you receive our male hormone test, simply send in a saliva sample taken shortly after you wake, and EverlyWell's lab will process your sample and provide you with your digital results. This hormone test checks 4 vital hormone levels for men to see if they fall within a normal range. Once you get your test result back, you can then show your hormone levels to your healthcare provider for further advice and next steps.

Hormones Measured

The Everlywell Hormone Test For Men measures the levels of these important hormones:TestosteroneDHEAEstradiolCortisol

Testosterone:

Testosterone is a hormone most well known for it’s role as the main male sex hormone. While testosterone exists in both men and women, it typically exists in far greater amounts in men than women. This hormone plays a key role in maintaining muscle mass, regulating fat storage, body hair growth, athletic performance, sex drive, energy levels, and much more.

Testosterone peaks for most men during their twenties and decreases with age.

DHEA:

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant circulating steroid in the body. It is produced primarily in the adrenal glands and acts as a precursor to other sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. DHEA peaks in early adulthood and decreases with age.

Estradiol:

Estradiol is the most prevalent estrogen. Although essential for female secondary characteristic development, it is also synthesized and required in males at low levels. An estrogen test checks your estradiol levels to help you see if you have normal ranges.

Cortisol:

Cortisol is the "fight or flight" hormone that is released by the adrenal glands in response to stress. Persistent stress leads to chronically increased cortisol levels, which can result in many health issues including difficulty sleeping, weight gain, decreased testosterone levels , low energy, and more.

Who should take this test?

Men of any age may be interested in understanding their testosterone, estradiol, cortisol, and DHEA levels as these—when measured together—can offer greater insight into their overall health.

Through this at-home male hormone test, you have the opportunity to better understand your levels of each of these four hormones and their role in your overall health.

What will results from this male hormone check tell me?

Your results will provide detailed information on whether your testosterone, DHEA, estradiol, and cortisol levels are normal, low, or high compared to reference ranges.
