Catch 22 question, laxatives and uti's or constipation and uti's?

I re-sent it and i accidentally sent it twice.  ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜„

 I noticed when I drink sodas it makes my UTI is worse I donโ€™t drink sodas with sugar Iโ€™ll drink the ones with  Splenda  and it still causes burning .  Maybe itโ€™s the caffeine.   Seems like when weโ€™re right in the midst of menopause you have to be careful of everything you put into your body. Menopause is such a bummer and I hate the dryness down there too .  ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Thank you Marilee. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Iโ€™m

Taking Estrace too, my urologist/ob says the risks are extremely low, even though there are so many reports, and that the reports are from

Usage of 5+ years.  I donโ€™t take a lot, but maybe once or twice a week, the size of my pinky nail.  Plus Iโ€™ll use an organic lubricant.  Totally helps โ™ฅ๏ธ

I'm surprised that small amount and infrequency is enough to help you replenish the tissues.  I use more than that and I'm doing 3x/week.  I use the fingertip method; not the plunger.   Everything causes cancer.  Everything is a risk.  

If you have links to studies that have been done on the cream and cancer, would you private message them to me.  

I would also be interested in the name of your organic lubricant/

Yes, let me send a pic of the lubricant. Iโ€™ll try to find the articles too! 

I also hate water so i drink Ribena that use as a cordial. Small amount of ribena and top up with water. I don't know if this is an option for you ladies. Just a thought, better than drinking water on its own. โ˜บ

Yes I do that, just a very small amount, I also like Cranberry and raspberry, just a touch is enough.

HI Phoebe I have the exact same thing as you do had a hysterectomy 14 yrs ago,constipation I take senna  I drank prune juice the other day got the runs came down with a uti.  Why so many uti's  I don't know. Sex I get uti what the heck I've had 3 or 4 cystoscopys all negative I was diagnosed with interstatial cystitis mild . On May 12 I have appt with my urologist and the infection is always E. coli I'm taking macrobide generic for 3 days I'm going to ask him to do another cystoscopys well at leat I'm not alone other than that I'm in perfect health I take Crestor for cholesterol no hi blood pressure no diabetes Phoebe please answer me have a beautiful day๐Ÿ˜Š

Hi there feli, us ladies have so much fun don't we? I have been really good over the last couple of days in as much as I have been drinking a lot more, I had 2 pints yesterday and today I have had 3 pints of fluid today, I must make sure to do this everyday, though it was almost lunchtime before I had remembered to start drinking, I will have to set an alarm on my phone 'you must drink!' Lol. Haven't taken any senna for 2 days as well, things are looking up ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thats good your drinking alot of water, I like to drink 4 glasses before lunch and 4 in afternoon then I just cant no more water,  I changed my appt with urologist on Monday March 12 our specialist come from San Diego see what happening down there I will let you know take im happy you are feeling better๐Ÿ˜‰
