women in general are more prone to getting UTI due to a shorter urethra . part of the treatment, aside from lots of fluid intake, is perineal hygiene. so, wiping or washing, does help in decreasing likelihood of getting UTI

Absolutely! She could also be wiping forward instead of back (#2) and this could cause a UTI. I hope she has seen a doctor because a urinary tract infection left untreated can turn into a kidney infection and can be fatal. A high fever with a urinary tract infection is a really bad sign and a reason to at least call your doctor if not go to the ER tonight.

A urinary tract infection is nothing serious for you to be concerned about. It happens fairly frequently to both males and females, with the biggest cause being lack of water to drink that clears out the contaminants in the urinary system. Seriously though, if she was sexually active without protection, she could have a serious issue and be totally unawares yet such as sexually transmitted diseases. Someone should suggest that she be tested for her own good.

The most common cause of UTI are bacteria from the bowel that live on the skin near the rectum or in the vagina which can spread and enter the urinary tract through the urethra.
Once these bacteria enter the urethra they travel upwards causing infection in the bladder and sometimes other parts of the urinary tract.
Another cause of bladder infections or UTI is waiting too long to urinate. The bladder is a muscle that stretches to hold urine and contracts when the urine is released

Some women are more prone to UTIs than other people. Some get them monthly even. While good hygienics will help, it will not prevent it. A woman needs to wipe front to back, not the other way. Being sexually active can increase the chances of UTIs, it does help to urinate after intercourse. Even "holding it" when there is an urge to urinate is a contributing factor. Whenever my daughter quits taking in as many fluids, sudden infection!

yes. the urine tends to stay in her underwear. Moisture is very good place for bacteria to thrive. Also, girls are very prone to UTI because the urethral opening and the anus are very near to each other plus the urethra is only about a few centimeters long (compared to that of the male's which occupies the entire length of the penis). The bacteria commonly responsible for UTI is the E. coli and it is found in the human feces. To prevent migration of this bacteria to the urethral opening, a girl must wipe from FRONT TO BACK (from the least contaminated-urethral opening-to the most contaminated-the anus).

yeah, I have had alot of problems in this area in the last year and my doctor gave me a list of reasons and not wiping is one of them, your urine contains a certain amount of bacteria and if that isn't expelled from your body and sits there(depending on your immune system)it can cause serious infection, I really hope that she has taken her daughter in, if you say she's really sick then it probably spread to her kidneys, but little girls can also get it if they are not wiping properly(front to back) when they do a #2,

A woman who never wipes herself is asking for trouble with lots of infections and stuff.

It could possibly be a UTI or a yeast infection. It may also just be irritation. If she is uber sick and uncomfortable, she should see a doctor.

not typically, but can cause vulvovaginitis.
If there is burning, and other symptoms, you should however, be checked to verify that there is no infection, and or some other kind of infection.
