Question (original Japanese)

男性に比べて女性に尿路感染症(urinary tract infection)が起こりやすい要因として、最も適切なものを1つ選びなさい。

  1. 1子宮の圧迫がある。
  2. 2尿道が短く直線的である。

  4. 4女性ホルモンの作用がある。
  5. 5尿道括約筋が弛緩(しかん)している。
Show answer

Correct answer 2

Key pointWomen's urethra is short and straight, so they get urinary tract infections easily.

Explanation

The female urethra is short (about 3 to 4 cm) and straight, and its opening is close to the anus, so bacteria can easily enter the bladder and urinary tract infections occur easily. Therefore 2 is correct.

  • 1: Pressure from the uterus causes frequent urination, such as during pregnancy, and is not the main reason for susceptibility to infection, so it is wrong.
  • 3: Abdominal muscle strength is not the main cause of urinary tract infection, so it is wrong.
  • 4: Female hormones work to maintain the vaginal environment and are not the main reason for susceptibility, so it is wrong.
  • 5: Relaxation of the urethral sphincter causes urinary incontinence, not susceptibility to infection, so it is wrong.
Explanation in Japanese

女性の尿道は約3〜4cmと短く直線的で、尿道口が肛門に近いため細菌が膀胱に入りやすく、尿路感染症を起こしやすいので2が正しい。

  • 1:子宮による圧迫は妊娠時などの頻尿の要因で、感染しやすさの主な要因ではないので誤り。
  • 3:腹部の筋力は尿路感染の主因ではないので誤り。
  • 4:女性ホルモンは膣内環境を保つ方向にはたらき、感染しやすい主因ではないので誤り。
  • 5:尿道括約筋の弛緩は尿失禁の原因であり、感染しやすさの要因ではないので誤り。
