(See the above section for more information.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UTIs cause more than 8 million doctor visits every year. Anyone can get a UTI, regardless of age or sex, but UTIs are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urologyhealth.org\/urology-a-z\/u\/urinary-tract-infections-in-adults\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more common in adult women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. About 60% of women and 12% of men will get at least one UTI in their lifetime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaginal yeast infections are common, too. According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/yeast-infection\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20378999\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, up to 75% of women will have at least one yeast infection in their lives, with some women experiencing two or more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While yeast infections do not cause UTIs, taking an antibiotic for a UTI may cause a yeast infection in some cases. It is possible to have both a UTI and a yeast infection at the same time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"yeast-infection-vs-uti-treatment\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeast infection vs. UTI treatment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A vaginal yeast infection is treated with antifungal medication. Depending on the severity of symptoms and whether the patient visits their physician, there are various treatment options. There are over-the-counter antifungal treatments, such as creams, that are inserted daily into the vagina at bedtime. Some of these creams come with an external anti-itch cream.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who visit their health care provider may receive a prescription for an oral antifungal medication, such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diflucan<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fluconazole<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), and\/or a prescription vaginal antifungal cream, such as Terazol. Many people start to feel better within a day or several days, but others may have an infection that is harder to clear and may require more extended treatment. Because antibiotics are for bacterial infections, they will not treat yeast infections. In fact, many patients who are taking an antibiotic for a bacterial infection will experience a yeast infection due to the disruption of the bacteria in the vaginal area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A bacterial UTI will require antibiotic use. A healthcare provider will prescribe an antibiotic that is most appropriate for the infection, taking into account other factors like allergies to medication and other medications being taken that may interact. A doctor will also determine the length of treatment based on symptom severity. Antibiotics should be taken exactly as directed. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not stop taking the antibiotic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before the treatment is complete, even if symptoms have ceased. This could cause the bacteria to return, and it could also cause antibiotic resistance, meaning that the medicine might not work the next time it is needed. A UTI cannot be treated with an antifungal treatment such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monistat<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Antifungal treatments treat yeast infections, while antibiotics treat bacterial UTIs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consult a healthcare provider for medical advice. The healthcare professional can diagnose the type of infection and prescribe appropriate treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"preventing-uti-or-yeast-infection\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preventing UTI or yeast infection<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some tips to help prevent UTIs include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urinate immediately after sexual intercourse<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drink plenty of fluids<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take showers rather than baths<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid using douches, sprays, or powders in the genital area<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wipe from front to back<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk to a healthcare provider about the best type of birth control<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take cranberry tablets or drink cranberry juice<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not hold urine.

Wash wet or sweaty clothes after each use.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always consult a healthcare professional for medical advice. While an occasional yeast infection may be successfully treated with an OTC medication, other infections may be more severe or can even be signs of other medical conditions, especially if infections recur. A bacterial UTI will require an antibiotic, and a prescription will be needed from a doctor for that. Also, since symptoms of a yeast infection and UTI may overlap, it\u2019s best to let a healthcare provider make a diagnosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><svg style=\"display:none\">\n  <g
