I’m wondering if taking probiotics would help prevent these infections for those of us with low estrogen.

Stopping the Arimidex, stopped the UTI’s and having my Oncologist laughing at me when I mentioned the constant UTI’s and made me feel like an idiot so I had to find out myself and stopped the Arimidex.
It was awful and trying to get someone to listen but no one ever would.

It will be interesting to see what comes of newer more extensive research on probiotics. When our microbiome is healthier, our bodies function better.
I would probably depend more on using Replens to balance the vaginal ph, and maybe vaginal grade hydraulic acid to help moisturizing.
I have not had any UTIs although I was very low estrogen before cancer diagnosis and now on Tamoxifen. The tamoxifen must be acting as an agonist in my vaginal area as all atrophy and dryness that I had been having since menopause, at least 15 years of progressively worsening issues, are now all gone. It reminds me about how powerful a drug tamoxifen is.
