This episode was inspired by a recent coaching group I joined with Janice Mitchell, a pelvic floor physical therapist with incredible insight and compassion. The women in that group had thoughtful, important questions about recurrent urinary tract infections, which I often hear in my practice.So today, we're diving into that discussion and sharing it with you.If you've ever dealt with bladder infections that come and go (and come back again), this episode will help you better understand what's going on and what you can do about it.Together with Janice, we cover:What truly defines a UTI and why urine cultures matterHow low estrogen levels and tight pelvic floor muscles can mimic UTI symptomsThe role of vaginal estrogen and other medical options in treatment and preventionWhat to expect from your provider—and how to advocate for better careYou're in the right place if you're tired of the cycle and want answers that make sense. mypfm.comTimeline:00:30 Introduction and Overview01:19 Understanding UTIs: Causes and Symptoms05:01 Diagnosing UTIs: Tests and Procedures09:03 Treatment Options for UTIs09:43 Vaginal Estrogen: Benefits and Usage15:17 Preventing UTIs: Tips and Recommendations18:04 Addressing Bleeding During or After Sex
