All things bladder related / Re: Anyone ever had this type problem?

The lack of estrogen commonly causes such bladder problems and treating with low dose vaginal estrogen can be very helpful. However, the vaginal estrogen needs to be continued long term--a short course cannot continue to help after it has stopped. It is safe to use low dose vaginal estrogen at the twice weekly maintenance dose long term, and is recommended. See the section on this website on Management and Treatments. Vaginal estrogen is not the same as HRT--HRT circualtes throughout the body whereas vaginal estrogen is concentrated in the vagina and bladder, with only a tiny amount circulating in the rest of the body.
