"I never used to get urinary tract infections. Why are they suddenly coming back over and over again?"
We feel your pain, and its truly a frequent question we hear from our female patients.
If this is a story you are living right now, know that you are far from alone, and it is not a coincidence.
As women transition through perimenopause and menopause, the body experiences a natural decline in estrogen levels. Estrogen is essential for maintaining tissue health and natural defense mechanisms throughout the body. When those hormonal levels drop, delicate protective barriers thin and lose resilience, making it much easier for unwanted bacteria to take hold and cause recurring infections.
Far too often, women are advised to repeatedly treat the recurring symptoms rather than looking at the underlying cause. But chronic discomfort is not something you simply have to accept as you get older.
By restoring hormonal balance and utilizing targeted hormone therapy, we can help rebuild your body’s natural defenses and significantly lower the frequency of recurring infections. Hormone optimization allows you to help treat the root cause and not just the symptoms, giving you back your quality of life.
