Furthermore, scented toilet paper uses chemicals that may disrupt the normal pH of your vagina thus leading to a possible yeast infection.
In this regard, can wiping with toilet paper cause UTI?
When you wipe from back to front, you can push fecal particles, which can contribute to a UTI, forward and into your urethra where they can travel up to your bladder and cause an infection.
Beside this, what triggers UTI? Urinary tract infections are caused by microorganisms — usually bacteria — that enter the urethra and bladder, causing inflammation and infection. Though a UTI most commonly happens in the urethra and bladder, bacteria can also travel up the ureters and infect your kidneys.
