Normally due to a shorter urethra, women are more at risk of developing UTIs or bladder infections. Also, as a woman reaches menopause, a lack of estrogen causes the receptors in the urethra to become more susceptible to bacterial infections.

Oftentimes, vaginal estrogen creams have been very helpful in alleviating recurrent UTIs. D-mannose is also prescribed to prevent UTI recurrence. D-mannose is a sugar molecule that binds to receptors in the urethra and blocks the binding of bacteria on the receptors. High-dose IV vitamin C has effectively boosted immunity and prevents infections.
