Anastrozole v UTI?

A-ha that explains it!  I am not on Anstrozole but on Examestane however I have noticed the same, so have been drinking more than usual and it seems that it's been ok.  I have learnt so much just by reading posts. 

Yup and

Menopause, low oestrogen can cause UTI’s. A major issue for much older women who’ve not even had the crap we have. So keep those good fluids going without stressing the bladder. Lack of oestrogen a big thinner of the lining of the bladder. Deep joy

I'm definately thinking about this D-Mannose is apparently its the active part of the cranberry so not drinking copious amounts of sugar laden juice... I just don't want it to react with the Anastrozole though so I think I may speak to BCN next week? :)  xx

Hi OCRKate,

I'm on Letrozole and have been told by my Nurse that can cause UTI's due to reducing Hormone Oestrogen. I've been told to drink 2 litres of water each day, I try!!

A weird smile thank you for that info. As someone on Letrozole that piece of inf was never shared. Cheers with a glass of water in hand

Hi peterawake

Thanks for the information, most appreciated

I do drink about 4-6 large glasses of water a day anyway but it doesnt seem to help, the more I think about it the more I'm worrying if the cancer has gone to my bladder :( 

Hi

It is such a worry and we all stress about where it might be next but I don't think the bladder is a place that Breast C spreads to.

Hi. Im in exactly same position as you. Ive read lots on this as no one tells you about this nasty side effect.  I too worry its cancer spread but most likely estrogen reduction is the culprit. Im contacting my breast care nurse on the subject as my GP was hopeless. Might be worth a try for her opinion. Good luck.
