How are uti and yeast infection different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always different: Uti's are usually due to bacteria but rarely can be associated with yeast. Usually yeast infections int he bladder are present when a 'foreign body' like a stent or catheter are in place but in some populations like diabetics yeast not uncommonly are associated with infections. Most yeast infections originate in the gi/gu tract (mouth to anus; vagina) because that's where the organisms colonize.
