Preference of Women With Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection for Vaginal Estradiol Tablet vs Cream (NCT05723601)
Addressing Preference as a Patient-centered Outcome to Prevent Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection (rUTI) in Post-menopausal Women: a Cross-over Randomized Controlled Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Vaginally applied estrogen has been shown to decrease the incidence of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection (rUTI) in post-menopausal women. However, prior studies have shown the compliance rate for topical estrogen cream is low. The vaginal estradiol tablet has been shown to be preferred by patients being treated for genitourinary syndrome of menopause and has improved compliance. There are no studies looking at the preference of post-menopausal women with rUTI for vaginal estradiol tablet as an alternative to vaginal estradiol cream.
