Another UTI. Again.

You’ve taken the antibiotics and followed every bit of advice. It keeps coming back.

If you’re in your 40s or 50s, declining estrogen may be part of the picture. As estrogen drops, vaginal and urinary tissues can become thinner and more vulnerable, which can make UTIs more likely. This is called Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), and it’s treatable.

For appropriate women, low-dose vaginal estrogen can help reduce recurrent UTIs.

Has anyone ever connected your UTIs to menopause?
