With more than half of women experiencing at least one urinary tract infection in their lifetime, Liz chats to urologist and sexual medicine specialist Dr Rachel Rubin to reveal why UTIs must be taken more seriously.

Rachel shares the realities of how dangerous UTIs can be, plus how the lack of knowledge on this common infection is just another example of medical misogyny.

Rachel talks Liz through the symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and how vaginal oestrogen could be lifesaving.
