This stretches the tissue that make up the walls of arteries beyond a healthy limit.

Overall, men tend to have higher blood pressure than women, and while high-income nations have seen a significant decline in hypertension, prevalence in low and middle-income countries, such as those in  South Asia and Africa, is spiking.

If you are a woman, your chance of getting a urinary tract infection, or UTI, is high; some experts rank your lifetime risk of getting one as high as 1 in 2 ...with many women having repeat infections, sometimes for years on end.  Causes of UTIs in Women UTIs are a key reason women are often told to wipe from front to back after using the bathroom. This is because the urethra - the tube that transports urine from the bladder to the outside of the body - is located close to the anus. Bacteria from the large intestine, such as E. coli, are in perfect position to escape the anus and invade the urethra. From there, they can travel up to the bladder, and if the infection isn't treated, continue on to infect the kidneys. Women may be especially prone to UTIs because they have shorter urethra, which allows bacteria quick access to the bladder. Also having sex can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract. Symptoms of UTIs 1. A burning sensation when you urinate. 2. Frequent or int
