This Sunday, October 18, is World Menopause Day. One part of menopause that does not get talked about enough is what it can mean for the bladder. As estrogen levels fall, the tissues of the urinary tract become thinner and more sensitive, which can lead to urgency, frequent urination, and repeat urinary tract infections.
These changes are common, and they are treatable. Options range from pelvic floor therapy and bladder training to low-dose vaginal estrogen, which can reduce repeat infections. If you are getting UTIs again and again, or your bladder is running your day, our practice can help.
