Dr. Mary Claire Haver

What about, I'm on HRT, would you recommend that?

Yeah.

I have a hard time absorbing, I guess.

So I take four.

And so that Dietary Index score, you know, we used to have a little quiz you could take on our website.

That would grade—yeah, it's based on that.

So back to my mom for a little bit.

You've talked in the past about this connection between UTIs, like general urinary syndrome and menopause and hip fracture.

Yes.

I think it's worth for our listeners.

I think this is underappreciated.

I know this is what happened to my mom.

You know, she was a setup.

I like to quote the 30.

Yeah.

Since you're here this week while we're recording, this is the week that the box warning on vaginal estrogen has been struck and removed and just the normal warnings are there as they should be.

For those listening, vaginal estrogen is preventative.

It can be prophylactic.

It is safe and effective.

Almost 99.9% of women can use it and probably should for keeping the risk of UTI at bay and keeping their vaginal and vulvar health safe.
