Hi,
Urine infection needs to be treated conservatively with drinking lots of liquids or IV fluids if in a hospital set up. Then antibiotic course helps. Yeast infection shows skin infection locally and presents with itching.
More history is needed for a better answer.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
