I too had recurrent UTIs and am on estradiol cream 2X/week in addition to having been on the antibiotic Hiprex twice/day and 500 mg of Vitamin C twice a day. I recently went off the Hiprex as the guidelines state to be on it for a year-year and a half. I’m still taking the Vitamin C and the estradiol cream. Since being on this protocol, I haven’t had a UTI since January, 2025! Im worried they may start up again but hopefully they won’t.

Thank you for the info! Did you have any of the possible side effects from the Hiprex? Stomach upset, etc?
Also wondering about the application of the estradiol cream. Is it inserted vaginally or applied topically to urethral area? Thank you!!
