Nowadays one spends a lot of time out of the house for various needs. They often have to use public toilets there. Although it is a big problem for girls. UTIs or urinary tract infections occur in almost all women at some point. Many times office toilets are not cleaned according to the rules. The American Society for Microbiology estimates that public toilet seats and soap contain 6,000 types of bacteria and viruses. 

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are more common in women, men can get them too. They occur when bacteria accumulate somewhere in the urinary tract. UTI is related to bacterias such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. 

Other types of bacteria do not generally cause urethritis because urine kills the bacteria before they can infect the lining of the urethra. Bladder infections are less common in men than women because men have a longer urethra, which makes it harder for bacteria to enter the bladder. A urinary infection in the prostate (called prostatitis) can develop if the bacteria come from the bladder or, less often, come from the bloodstream and settle in the prostate. Bacteria can also move into one of the kidneys and cause a serious infection.
