Answer 1

In women, the most common cause of a UTI is fecal-urethra route.

Somehow, weather from improper wiping or sweat, et cetera...a bacteria called E. Coli gets in to the urethra. Though this is certianly not the only cause, it is the most preventable.

Determining "how bad" a UTI is is a matter of counting the leukocytes (white cells) in the urine. The more there are the worse it is. Distention of the bladder, however, is very common in UTI and does not nessicarily mean that it is severe.
