Abstract
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common health issue, especially among young women. The study aims to investigate the prevalence and determinants of UTIs among newly married women aged 18-25 in Khulna Division, Bangladesh. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1662 participants from Khulna Division. Data were collected on sociodemographic factors, healthcare access, and UTI history. Chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: The overall UTI prevalence was 23.4%, with a significant incidence in the first year of marriage (26.8%) and a 7% rate of recurrent UTIs. Sociodemographic determinants, including age, socioeconomic status, and healthcare access, exhibited significant associations with UTI prevalence. Conclusion: The study reveals a notable prevalence of UTIs among young married women in Khulna Division, with distinct disparities based on sociodemographic factors. Addressing healthcare access, socioeconomic inequalities, and implementing culturally sensitive interventions are crucial for mitigating UTI prevalence and improving women’s health in the region.
