Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The urinary tract and reproductive organs are anatomically close to each other, so pathogens that cause STDs can sometimes enter the urinary tract. However, not all STDs involve the urinary tract, and not all urinary tract infections are caused by STDs. Option B is incorrect because STDs can also enter through other routes such as mucous membranes and skin. Option C is also incorrect because not all STDs are caused by the same microbes that cause urinary tract infections.
