As a former recurrent sufferer I cannot understand why some GPs won't prescribe it or even think is it low oestrogen? Advised a woman with recurrent UTI seeking advice about lubricant to ask GP for it, she was only prescribed HRT so advised her to ask for local oestrogen again

I believe so strongly in the safety & importance of vaginal estrogen that I don't think folks going through menopause should wait to get genitourinary symptoms to start it. Why wait for recurrent UTIs & painful sex when you can prevent them?
