Yeast infections: I'm sure your personal hygiene is good. Vaginal yeast infections can be passed back and forth between sexual partners. Have you been checked for diabetes, HIV? Do you take corticosteroids as they can predispose you to yeast infections? Do you have an autoimmune disorder which can weaken your immune system? Have a complete checkup including blood work by a specialist in infectious diseases

Not sure what if "plake" means plaque. If so this is more serious and can be MS or a brain infection. Both can make you more prone to urinary tract infection, but this would be a second problem.
