Summary

This study looks at how well women with low estrogen (like after menopause) stick to using vaginal estrogen treatments to prevent repeat urinary tract infections. About 111 women will be randomly assigned to use a cream, tablet, or ring. Researchers will track adherence over 6 months and also examine changes in vaginal tissue and natural bacteria.
