Article Synopsis
- This study tested an ultra-low-dose estriol vaginal gel (0.005%) to see if it could prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in postmenopausal women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause.
- The clinical trial involved 108 women who were divided into two groups: one received the estriol gel, while the other got a placebo gel, and they were monitored for 24 weeks.
- Results showed a 26% lower rate of UTIs in the group using estriol compared to placebo, indicating the gel is both safe and effective in reducing UTI occurrences and improving vaginal health.
