These infections more frequently affect persons with vaginas due to anatomic differences including a shorter urethra. Diagnosis is made by identifying related clinical symptoms in combination with an abnormal urinalysis and growth on urine culture. Antibiotics are often effective therapy, although antibiotic resistance is increasing.
