Summary

This study looked at whether a low-dose vaginal estrogen tablet could improve overactive bladder symptoms in menopausal women by changing the bacteria in their urine. Thirty women used the estrogen daily for two weeks, then twice a week for 12 weeks. Researchers measured changes in Lactobacillus levels and other urine bacteria, and linked those changes to symptom relief.
