Perhaps you’re no stranger to urinary tract infections (UTIs), or maybe you’re the opposite, and you’ve been spared by the urinary health gods. Whichever the case, UTIs after menopause can happen to anyone. They are the second most common type of bacterial infections seen by healthcare providers. Today we’re looking into UTI symptoms, treatment, and prevention post menopause. You’re no longer dealing with your period, so UTIs should take a hike as well!
Why are women at a higher risk of UTIs post menopause?
When you are perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal, the lack of the hormone estrogen plays a key role.
What are UTI symptoms for women after menopause?

Treatment
The only way to cure a urinary tract infection is with antibiotics. Studies show that a 3-day course of antibiotics is equally effective over a 7-day course among postmenopausal patients.
UTI prevention:
Hope Ricciotti, MD and editor in chief of the Harvard Women’s Health Watch, writes, “there are effective prevention strategies for healthy women at midlife who are struggling with recurrent UTIs.”
Take control of your urinary health, don’t accept UTIs as a fact of getting older. If you are struggling with UTIs, speak with your doctor to find a solution specifically suited for you.
