Are you noticing more frequent UTI symptoms during perimenopause, like burning, urgency, frequency, incomplete urination, or discomfort? In this video, Susan Winograd PT, founder and owner of Pelvicore Rehab & Wellness, explains why UTI symptoms are emerging during perimenopause and what you can do about it!
The tissues of your urethra are highly dependent on estrogen. During perimenopause, as estrogen levels decline, these tissues become thinner and less supported. This makes your urethra more vulnerable to irritation, inflammation, and UTI-like symptoms—even without an actual infection.
But here’s the good news: You don’t have to suffer! There are effective ways to address this.
1️⃣ Consider topical estrogen prescribed by your provider to restore tissue health and support.
2️⃣ Stay hydrated and avoid bladder irritants like caffeine or spicy foods.”
3️⃣ Work on pelvic floor health with a therapist to improve urethral support and reduce irritation.
Taking these steps can make a huge difference in your comfort and bladder health. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, reach out to your provider or a pelvic floor therapist for help.
