Answers:
Both can have several causes. Both can be caused by taking lots of prescription drugs, some are far more likely than others to cause these problems. Hygiene can also be a factor in both. Diet can make either easier to contract, but doesn't actually cause them.

UTI's are often caused because people don't urinate as soon as they should (they "hold it" too long, too frequently) and don't empty their bladder when they do finally urinate.

UTI can be prevented by addressing the above issues, as well as making sure you have plenty of antioxidants in your system. Cranberry supplements are popular for this. The pain from a UTI can be lessened by using AZO Standard, an over the counter medicine you can purchase at your local superstore/drug store.

Yeast infections are a bit more complicated. Address the above issues, particularly hygiene (not that this is the cause, but can help to keep from getting one). Research also indicates that using acidopholis (a probiotic supplement) can help reduce the chances of getting a yeast infection. Acidopholis/probiotics can also be found in foods like yogurt.

Health Question & Answer

It can be caused by wiping fecal matter into the urethra or from a build up of bacteria at the opening. Sometimes sexual activity can cause this as well because the vaginal area can be prone to getting such infections. One more thing would be holding in your urine for long periods of time. If this is periodically done, a woman's bladder can become weak and some urine can be left behind causing extra bacteria in the urine to be left behind.

The best way to prevent them is to be as clean as possible in your vaginal area. Wiping front to back when you take a poop is the best to keep bacteria from building up. Don't ever hold in your pee unless you absolutely have to and have protected sex.Health Question & Answer
