Re: Thanks to you all for alternative treatment for UTI tips . Isabel

Hi Isabel

Just thought I would add to this info from my own experience as well as the

experience of a friend of mine.

I kept getting symptoms of UTI's (as my friend did) but often the urine tests

did not show signs of infection. My friend had spent over a year attending GP's,

urologist and Gynae specialist. To cut a long story short the urologist

concluded that these symptoms were caused by the thinning of the

oestrogen-dependent lining of the outer urethra. He prescribed oestrogen cream -

" Ortho-Gynest " She initially applied this a couple of times a week and now

rarely needs to use it - it did the trick. I used " Replens " a non-hormonal

oestrogen free product and it worked for me. Apparently this is a very common

problem when we reach the menopause as the collagen level of our skin becomes

thinner as our hormone levels fall.

Hope this helps, and you are not feeling over loaded with suggestions!
