Official title
Vaginal Estrogen for the Prevention of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection in Postmenopausal Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators would like to know if the use of vaginally applied estrogen can prevent the problem of repeated urinary tract infections (UTI) in women who have gone through menopause. The investigators will use two forms of vaginal estrogen that are available by prescription (a ring and a cream) and compare their efficacy to that of a placebo (without any active ingredient). The investigators are going to look at if the vaginal estrogen can prevent UTIs altogether and also the number of UTIs each group experiences over a 6 month period. After 6 months, all subjects will receive vaginal estrogen and the women on the non-active treatment will be able to choose whether they would like to use either the estrogen ring or cream. The investigators will then be able to compare the number of UTIs on and off active vaginal estrogen treatment within those subjects who started on the placebo. The investigators are also going to look at quality of life before and during treatment using questionnaires and whether subjects stop using the treatments or do not use them as directed (compliance).
