UTI’s Can Be Treated With Hormones

Even though Urinary Tract Infections are very common, they can also be very dangerous.

Even though Urinary Tract Infections are very common, they can also be very dangerous. Postmenopausal women often have recurrent infections in their bladder, urethra or kidneys, which come back despite adequate treatment. The reason for recurrence is lack of estrogen, leading to atrophy of bladder and urethra mucous membranes, which makes them prone to infection.

It also makes them more susceptible to perineal skin atrophy, leading to easy infection spread from the anus to the urethra.

Therefore hormone replacement, specifically bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, including estrogen may be very rewarding.
