Why Are Women More Likely To Experience UTIs?
(http://ow.ly/B8ls30ms1B8)

Women are more susceptible to urinary tract infections because of the way their anatomy is designed. A woman's urethra is within proximity to her a**s. Therefore, it's easier for bacteria like E. coli to make its way into the urethra and travel into the bladder. While there's no way to prevent this from happening entirely, good hygienic practices like wiping from front to back can make all the difference.

An IUD is a form of semi-permanent birth control. IUDs are T-shaped devices which are made of plastic. They're carefully inserted into a woman's uterus and prevent s***m from reaching or fertilizing eggs. If at any point you decide that you're ready to start a family, your IUD can be removed.

An IUD (intrauterine device) is used to prevent pregnancy for 3-12 years. It's a small t-shaped device that's inserted into a woman's uterus.

All About IVF
(http://ow.ly/fIXx30m0aFm)

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) has helped millions of women get pregnant despite infertility problems caused by endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, or unknown reasons. The process involves you doing hormone injections for 9-10 days before ovulating, so your body produces multiple eggs. The eggs then get retrieved by the doctor while you go under anesthesia. In the lab, they fertilize your egg with the s***m of your baby’s chosen father and allow it to grow for 3-5 days before either implanting them in the uterus or freezing them for later.

It's definitely not cheap.
