Adult humans have 3 to 4 pounds of beneficial bacteria, numbering about 70 trillion individual organisms, living in our digestive system. Yeast is present in every one of us. The shear strength in numbers of the beneficial bacteria keeps yeast in check. They are in charge and make yeast produce vitamins, such as the B complex, within our bodies. If this balance is altered by reducing the good bacteria, yeast, being very opportunistic, will spread and take over as a yeast infection or as a fungal parasite or candida (mold), causing a wide variety of unhealthy side effects and diseases.

Although the urinary system has properties that inhibit the growth of bacteria, there are factors that favor the bacteria to enter in the urinary tract, multiply and develop an infection. Not always having bacteria in the urine means that you have an infection. There are cases of persons, especially older adults that have bacteria in the bladder that don’t cause any symptoms or harm, and there is no need for a treatment, fact called asymptomatic bacteriuria.
