A UTI can become life-threatening. And menopause may be part of the reason.
A 2026 observational study involving 1.9 million women found that vaginal estrogen use was associated with lower rates of hospitalization, sepsis, and death. While these findings don't prove causation, they're important to understand.
After menopause, declining estrogen can increase the risk of recurrent UTIs, yet vaginal estrogen remains an underused prevention option.
As Dr. Rachel Rubin, a leading advocate for women's sexual health, has emphasized, failing to follow established UTI prevention guidelines is a serious issue in women's healthcare.
Women deserve better information, better prevention, and better care.
Save this and ask your doctor whether vaginal estrogen could be right for you.
