We're excited to be part of The Wonder Woman Project, Session 3! 💚

This conversation brings together women's experiences, insights, and perspectives to create better understanding and care around women's health, exploring the psychological and emotional side of living with recurrent UTIs and chronic pain.

We're especially proud that Dr. Jasmine Bonder, Founder & CEO of Clinova Solutions, will be joining the panel.

Watch our teaser below and join us here: https://luma.com/28z2g8w3
We'd love to have you with us!

You had a UTI. You took an antibiotic. So what's the one thing most people forget next? A probiotic. 💚

Here's the thinking behind it.

Whenever a patient takes a systemic antibiotic, whether oral or IV, restoring the good bacteria afterward matters just as much as clearing the bad. Because your body is a beautiful, connected system, and it works in harmony with all the microbes living in it.

Antibiotics do an important job, but they do not discriminate. They clear the harmful bacteria and the protective ones. And a depleted microbiome is exactly the environment where symptoms love to return.

That is why a good probiotic can be so valuable after a course of antibiotics. It helps rebuild a healthy microbiome, and a healthy microbiome is one of your best defences against recurrence.

The takeaway: getting rid of the bad bugs is only half the job. Replenishing the good ones is what helps keep you well.

The treatment behind lasting relief, and one most women are never told about. 💚

Bladder instillation therapy delivers medication directly into the bladder, rather than sending it circulating through your whole body like oral antibiotics. That means it can reach the source, restoring the bladder's protective lining and calming the cycle of recurrent infections.

For so many women stuck on repeat antibiotics, this is the option nobody mentioned. It works where standard treatment often cannot, by rebuilding your bladder's natural defences from the inside.

If your UTIs keep coming back, it may be worth asking whether instillation therapy is right for you.

Boric acid, or clindamycin, or metronidazole? For BV, the right choice really comes down to you.

A big part of the decision is simple: how much are you suffering right now?

If your symptoms are worse than a 5 out of 10, a topical antibiotic like metronidazole or clindamycin may be the better fit. They take a broader-spectrum approach, targeting the bacteria likely driving your symptoms.

If your symptoms are milder, under that 5 out of 10, boric acid may be worth considering. It is not an antibiotic, it is an antiseptic, and it can offer similar results with a gentler approach.

And they are not always either-or. In some cases, boric acid can be combined with topical metronidazole or clindamycin. It all depends on your specific situation, which is exactly why this should be assessed case by case.

One more thing worth knowing: if your symptoms keep coming back, it is important to be evaluated for aerobic vaginitis, which can be quietly contributing and is often missed.

Recurrent symptoms deserve a proper look, not just another quick fix.

Diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis? Here's something important to know: there is no one-size-fits-all treatment.

BV is common, but the way it is treated should still be personal. A few options your provider might discuss:

Boric acid
Topical metronidazole
Topical clindamycin
Or an oral pill

In our practice, wherever possible, we try to avoid systemic antibiotics, the kind that affect your entire microbiome: gut, vaginal, and urinary. Because wiping out the good bacteria along with the bad can set the stage for the very recurrence you are trying to escape.

A more targeted approach does the opposite. By protecting and encouraging a healthy microbiome, it can help prevent BV from coming back again and again.

The takeaway? When weighing your options, the goal is to treat the whole person, not just this one infection. A thoughtful, targeted plan is often what finally breaks the cycle.

Burning when you urinate? It does not automatically mean you need an antibiotic. 💚

It feels like a UTI, so it gets treated like one. But deciding on treatment means looking at you as a whole person, not a single symptom or one test result.

Here is what often gets missed:

✅ Symptoms overlap. Conditions like aerobic vaginitis and urethritis can mimic a UTI almost exactly.
✅ The wrong treatment fails. Women with these other conditions are often handed course after course of antibiotics, with only short-term relief, or none at all.
✅ It pays to look wider. When it comes to dysuria (burning with urination), the answer is to think beyond "it must be a UTI" and consider what else could be driving it.

That burning is real, and it deserves a real answer, not another round of antibiotics aimed at the wrong target.

If your symptoms keep coming back with no lasting relief, it may be time to look deeper.

Vitamin C for preventing UTIs. You have probably heard it recommended. But does it actually work?

The theory makes sense on paper: vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can make urine more acidic, creating a less welcoming environment for bacteria. It is one of the most commonly suggested "natural" UTI preventives.

Here is the part most people skip: strong clinical evidence to back this up in healthy women is currently lacking.

That is why it is being properly studied. Women recovering from gynaecological surgery are a especially high-risk group, catheters carry up to a 5% risk of UTI per day, and the risk after catheter removal can run as high as 10 to 64%. Researchers are now running a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomised trial, the gold standard, to see whether vitamin C truly helps prevent these infections.

The honest takeaway? For now, vitamin C is a promising idea, not a proven prevention. And that distinction matters. Good care follows the evidence, not the hype.

This is where your symptoms matter enormously. Because bacteria in the urine does not automatically mean an infection that needs treating.

Some people become colonized, meaning E. coli simply lives in their urine without causing harm. This is called asymptomatic bacteriuria, and in many cases, treating it with antibiotics is not helpful, and can even do more harm than good.

But if you have an active infection, think burning when you urinate, going more often, or lower back pain, and your test shows E. coli, that is when an antibiotic is worth considering.

The takeaway: a positive test is one piece of the puzzle, not the whole picture. Good care reads your symptoms and your results together, not one in isolation.

Who actually needs topical estrogen? If you're a woman who keeps getting UTIs, this is worth reading. 💚

Recurrent UTIs are defined as more than two infections in six months, or three or more in a year. And for many women in that situation, especially around and after menopause, low estrogen is a hidden driver: it thins the urogenital tissue and depletes the protective bacteria that keep infections at bay.

That is where topical (vaginal) estrogen comes in. A large analysis from the Epic Cosmos system, looking at nearly 2 million women with a history of recurrent UTIs, found that those who received topical estrogen had a significant drop in UTI recurrence, in how severe those infections were, and in the likelihood of being hospitalised for one.

It is one of the most evidence-backed options we have, yet it remains dramatically underused.

So if you've had recurrent UTIs, it is genuinely worth asking your provider whether topical estrogen is right for you. It could change the whole pattern.

What do orange juice and formaldehyde have in common? More than you'd think, and it comes back to your bladder.

Both can acidify urine. Here's how:

Orange juice is high in vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which lowers the pH of your urine. And bacteria don't thrive in acidic environments, they prefer alkaline urine, a pH above 8. Methenamine (Hiprex) works on the same principle: it converts into formaldehyde in the urine, acidifying it and helping to inhibit bacterial growth.

So that morning glass of orange juice is, in a small way, doing something similar to Hiprex, creating a more acidic environment that may help prevent UTIs.

One key detail: the dose matters. Doctors typically suggest around 500 mg of vitamin C for this effect. Same mechanism as Hiprex, gentler scale.

An honest note: vitamin C is a low-risk, promising habit, not a guaranteed prevention. If your UTIs keep coming back, the real answer is looking deeper at what's driving them.
