Urinary bladder infection mostly occurs in women more than men because the female urethra is shorter, making it easier to get infected. Additionally, most women often hold their urine, which can lead to bladder inflammation more easily. This also causes the urinary system to malfunction, leading to urethral infection and inflammation.
