My wife had a surgical menopause 23 years ago, this necessitated low-dose transdermal oestrogen therapy.
She experienced and was treated for oestrogen sensitive breast cancer 3 years ago, so the oestrogen therapy immediately stopped.
In her words:
I believe I now have VA which may be contributing to persistent high leucocytes in my urine, and 2 possibly 3 UTIs over the past 2 years.
I practice all the sensible precautions, and am considering dealing with the foregoing through a multi pronged strategy ie probiotics, d-mannose, vit c, and possibly the lowest dose of vaginal oestrogen. I am a bit apprehensive regarding the latter because my low grade BC tumour was classified as 8+ oestrogen sensitive.
I would be most interested to hear from those who have experienced BC and are using vaginal oestrogen, and what their regime is to deal with VA and UTIs, as well as general advice.
