Summary
This study tests whether using a chlorhexidine rinse after each bowel movement can reduce urinary tract infections (UTIs) in post-menopausal women who already use vaginal estrogen and have frequent UTIs. About 136 women aged 55-89 will be randomly assigned to either add the rinse or continue their usual routine. The main goal is to see if the rinse lowers the number of UTIs over 90 days.
