Vaginal gel may cut repeat UTIs in menopause
NCT ID NCT05573334
First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This completed study tested whether an over-the-counter vaginal care system (Flourish HEC) could lower the number of urinary tract infections in menopausal women who get them often. The idea is that the gel helps restore a healthy vaginal microbiome, which may protect against UTIs. Only 8 women took part, so the results are very preliminary.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
vaginal moisturizing gel (BioNourish) as part of a hygiene system
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-hormonal, over-the-counter option to help menopausal women reduce recurrent urinary tract infections.
What could go wrong
This was a very small study (8 participants) with no phase designation, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. The device is already on the market, but its effectiveness for UTI prevention is unproven.
