UTI and Yeast question?
Hello,
I've had a UTI for 3 weeks now and been on 3 different antibiotics trying to get rid of it. Can you tell me if you can get a yeast infection in you urinary tract? Also, would a yeast infection cause a slightly high temp. or is it only possible for your temp. to be elavated with a bacterial infection? Thank you

My doctor called today and said my urine is clear now. But I told her I still have pain when urinating. I was on antibiotics for a long time so I'm thinking that maybe a yeast infection that could be irritating my bladder and urethra too. Thanks for the info, I will be see my doctor soon to confirm. It's irritated more now than when the infection was present.

Hi,
A yeast infection usually starts in the vagina and may involve the urethra. If the condition is right , the infection may ascend to the bladder and ureters. However for UTI, bacterial infections are more likely.
Have you been diagnosed with yeast infections before?
If the infection is severe ( spread to the blood), it may present with fever. However, bacteial infections are more likely to cause fever.

Thanks for the reply. They did do a culture but said it would be a few days before they got it back. I did have a scan of my abdomen and it showed minimal sludge in my galbladder, everything else looked okay. I'm pretty sure I have a yeast infection but still waiting to see if there's any other type of infection. No nausea or vomiting. Would a yeast infection cause a high temp. or is that unlikely? Thank you

Hi,
During your consult, was a urine culture done?
Any pelvic or abdominal scans done ?
Fever may accompany most infections including infection of the urinary tract. However, if fever is present a kidney ( upper urinary tract) infection needs to be ruled out.
Any other associated symptoms like nausea and vomiting?
