But listening is the most important thing.

Yeah, definitely.

For people as patients, they have to be listening.

Yeah.

The other thing is, I know you told me before, if you don't mind me saying, that you're using vaginal hormones.

And that's really important because we know one of the reasons that women are more likely to get infections is because hormonal changes happen.

And we've known actually since the 1980s that vaginal hormones will reduce frequency and severity of urinary tract infections.

Yet only the minority of menopausal women are given vaginal hormones, which are very safe.

They don't get absorbed in the body.

Anyone, including women who've had breast cancer, can usually very safely use them.

Yeah.

So anyone that's had any urinary tract infection, certainly recurrent urinary tract infection, should be prescribed vaginal hormones.

Yet a lot of times that's not even spoken about or considered.

know

it's big to your doctor it's so important because um some of my patients say to me my doctor says i don't need vaginal hormones because i'm not sexually active

And it's like, hang on, it's not just for the vagina.

It goes through into the bladder and it makes a massive difference.

And, you know, because urosepsis, as you say, is common and it's still up there, it's not reducing.

And partly because women are living longer, they're menopausal for longer, they've got low hormones for longer and they're not being given any vaginal hormones.

Exactly.
