Addressing What Gets Missed With Recurrent UTIs or BV

Ever had something like a UTI , BV or irritation treat it … and then it comes back? 🤨

I’ve lived this and know how frustrating this can be - especially for women who never get infections or take antibiotics and who know the importance of gut health on our overall health.

Addressing this holistically is not just about “getting rid” of bacteria— but about understanding what’s at play and supporting the environment they’re living in.

Your vaginal and bladder health rely on beneficial bacteria to help keep things balanced and supported immunity wise.

In midlife and peri-menopause, as estrogen shifts, that environment changes — and the body becomes more sensitive or prone to recurring symptoms.

So instead of only trying to fix the symptoms we begin to support the body in restoring balance and this is where targeted probiotics (not just any one) and herbs like cranberry can be really helpful. As a way of supporting the terrain so your body can return to a more steady, supported state.

If this is something you’ve been navigating, this is the daily probiotic I recommend in practice:
Ultra Flora Complete Women’s Probiotic.

Favourite probiotic for women at Midlife as it replenishes the key strains that decrease at this time (and make the body more prone to UTIs ) AND includes strains that impact gut and brain health - a well-researched comprehensive women’s formula. [link] 💃

Your body is always moving toward balance and care—this is one way to gently support it.
