UTI risk: most urinary tract infections are simple and isolated events, however certain conditions increase your risk: female, diabetes, genetic anatomy, history of multiple previously, recent intercourse, diaphragm and spermicidal foams. Additionally, holding in urine increases your risk with the dehydration from the flight and altitudes too! Definitely consider a urinalysis or visit to your doctor soon.

None: It is unlikely to cause any problems. The yeast infection is unrelated.
