Does your symptoms include the following:
1) Itching and burning in the vagina and around the vulva (the skin that surrounds your vagina).
2) A white vaginal discharge that may look like cottage cheese. 3) Pain during sexual intercourse.
4) Swelling of the vulva.
Yeast infections are usually treated with medicine that you put into your vagina. This medicine may be a cream that you insert in your vagina with a special applicator, or it may be a suppository that you put into your vagina and allow to dissolve on its own. Medicine in a cream form can also be put on your vulva to help relieve itching. Medicine in a pill form that you take by mouth is also available.
Well, they are pretty much similar and bladder Infection is UTI but not every UTI is bladder infection. The causative agents can be micro-organisms, Bacteria, yeast, parasites, etc but most commonly it is bacteria Escherichia coli that ends up in the urinary tract from the intestines through the anal area. In the UTI, bladder, urethra, urethral neck can be infected and if the symptoms are not treated, and bacteria expelled, it can travel all the way up to the kidneys and cause even bigger problems.
Bladder infections occur mostly in women because their urethra is shorter and bacteria has less road to travel. The most common symptoms of the lower urinary tact including bladder infection are back pain, blood in the urine, cloudy urine, urinary retention, fever, frequent need to urinate, pain during urination, etc.

I don't know enough about UTIs to speculate, but I'm pretty sure it's possible to have a UTI and a yeast infection at once. But either way, ask your doctor!
