Most women don’t even think about their urethras, but an estrogen-starved urinary tract can be the culprit when it comes to recurrent urinary tract infections and that persistent “gotta go” feeling. 

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Kelly Casperson, a board-certified urologist, a certified Menopause Practitioner of the North American Menopause Society, and the host of the hit podcast You Are Not Broken to discuss the role of estrogen in urinary health including: 

·      How to get rid of URINARY URGENCY

·      How to use a local vaginal estrogen to alleviate many BLADDER SYMPTOMS

·      Why some women are more prone than others to RECURRENT URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS.

·      Simple ACTION STEPS to decrease recurrent urinary tract infections

·      A NEW VACCINE that is on the horizon for women for women who have recurrent infections
