I've heard this also. I used to get them alot (and when I say ALOT, I mean like once a month), and then I got UTI and I finally found out the cause of BOTH my yeast infections and my UTI....I was wiping the wrong way....I was wiping back to front. This is SOOOOOO bad! If you are wiping this way instead of front to back, change right away. It will take some getting used to, but since I changed, I have not had an infection or a UTI since and it's been about 5 years now.
