Treatment for vaginal dryness, painful sex, frequent UTIs, and urgency.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) happen when bacteria sneaks up into the urethra and bladder and causes infection. A bladder infection is a type of UTI. Any UTI should be treated with antibiotics to avoid complications and hospitalization. Most people will need UTI antibiotics same day. That's why we offer a quick online consult for UTIs. Choose your preferred pharmacy, and within hours your antibiotics will be waiting for pickup. It's not UTI meds over-the-counter, but it's pretty darn close!
If you keep getting UTIs, you can decrease the need for antibiotics with preventative treatments like vaginal estrogen. You can get vaginal estrogen in the form of estradiol vaginal cream or estradiol vaginal suppositories.
Although vaginal estrogen is inserted vaginally, it helps prevent UTIs by increasing the amount of good bacteria in the vaginal microbiome. It also improves the health of the skin around the urethra to prevent burning or pain. You won't find vaginal estrogen over-the-counter, so you'll need a prescription from a medical provider like a board-certified doctor here at Interlude.
