Medics explained that women in this region, including pregnant women, may be especially prone to UTIs due to particular climatic conditions. They also noted that UTIs tend to increase during the winter months.
Doctors explained cold weather can suppress thirst cues, leading to dehydration. This concentrates urine, creating an environment where bacteria can thrive.
Dr Hala Mostafa Kamel Imam, Specialist Internal Medicine, Burjeel Royal Hospital, Asharej, said: “UTIs can show seasonal trends, with a notable increase during the winter months. Cold temperatures can lead to people drinking less water, resulting in more concentrated urine and an increased risk of infection.”
Doctors said winter often coincides with cold and flu season, “which can weaken the immune system and make individuals more susceptible to infections like UTIs. Those with diabetes may experience worse glycemic control in colder months, which can increase UTI susceptibility".
