UTI results from bacteria in the urethra. These are usually bacteria who should reside in the intestinal tract. Things are great for bacterial migration in those parts of us.

A yeast infection is actually a fungus that lives in the vagina and some of the exposed, damp parts - mainly the inner lips. Itches like crazy! We women are ideal petri dishes for this stuff to grow. The conditions and agents are always present but the vagina is a delicate eco-system wherein the good bugs keep the bad bugs in check. Because of diet, other medications, hygiene or douching things can get out of balance and then we have a yeast infection.
