How Does Menopause Affect Urinary Health?

Urogenital symptoms such as urinary frequency, nocturia (peeing too much at night), urgency, incontinence, and recurrent urinary tract infections can occur during perimenopause and are often progressive, meaning they do not resolve but worsen with time if left untreated.

These symptoms can occur during menopause due to a decline in estrogen, which impacts the urogenital tract through multiple factors, including:

  • reducing the skin thickness,
  • muscle decline,
  • a reduction in blood flow to the area, and
  • a loss of elasticity.

The estrogen drop also changes the microbiome, contributing to an increased risk of UTIs.
