Scientists probe why UTI prevention fails half the time

NCT ID NCT05551949

Summary

This study aims to understand why vaginal estrogen therapy prevents recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in only about half of the postmenopausal women who use it. Researchers will examine how the treatment changes the bacteria and immune responses in the vagina and bladder of 27 participants. The goal is to learn why the treatment works for some women but not others, which could lead to better prevention strategies in the future.
