Wonderful and accurate posting. The past 2 years I suffered one uti after another until I started using the yucky cream a few months ago. It’s now been 6 months since I suffered one and I am angry the anti biotic prescribers never suggested a better way.
So glad you are shining a light on the facts and solutions of women's health. I have been following a Canadian women's health advocate, Shirley Weir, for many years. She started a group called Menopause Chicks, and I am so grateful for everything that I learned, and am perpetually learning. We all deserve quality of life! ❤️
You tell it, Lady! Thank you for the intel. Cannot tell you how many women struggle with UTIs and are dismissed in health care systems. Mostly by older school men but women as well.
Will the fact that it might be considered technically a hormone (replacement) therapy become an additional barrier to access in the U.S.?
Unfortunately, all medicine is based on men; sorry guys not bitchin at you it's just fact. Women, naturally, have a completely different physiolgy. Within our group, doctors are now only realising that BIPOC women are different from Caucasian women. Really? What took them so long? So, this little tidbit of information regarding something that most deem insignificant, is a damn big deal.
Yep. The vaginas hormones may not completely solve the problem, but they are a huge help. Fortunately I have a nurse practitioner whose8 philosophy is not to get between a woman and her hormones. Well, she is a little more descriptive than that, but you know ... .
I didn't know this. I have no idea if my doctor does either. I haven't had a UTI in years. I had two friends die when treatment failed. I don't know how they were treated. Thank you.
Girl, I put that shit on my face too! Ha! But seriously, I worked as a home health nurse and 90% of what my job turned into was testing little old ladies and some men too, for UTIs. Some women were prescribed the preventative estrogen cream but most just went on round after round of antibiotics. unfortunately my mom, who is going through a UTI right now, her dr is one of those that will not prescribe d/t she had a stroke. My progressive gynecologist knows this is hog wash. Thank the lord. And as I recall, Tanya Roberts, died from sepsis from having a ITI.

No idea but that’s a good point!
