Menopause Years After Hysterectomy

can estrogen hormone therapy cure chronic bladder infections?

my mother has been sick for over a year and actually ended up in the hospital for a week close to death, because her infection got into her blood. She has had one bladder infection after another, and her doctor just keeps prescribing her antibiotics. They also put her on a medication to make her urine more acidic to kill off bacteria, but nothing is helping. It is scaring me that she is saying that she is afraid she is going to die. Before this problem she had surgery to tie her bladder up because it was slouching, but she had an internal exam with a mini camera, and besides a slightly wrinkled bladder wall, the urologist could find nothing wrong. At the same time she had a hysterectomy which threw her into menopause. I read that estrogen levels being thrown off by menopause can cause chronic bladder infections. Has anyone been given estrogen to fix a problem like this and does it work? We are very worried about her and desperate for an answer.

Try to put your mom on nutratose and cranberry juice. In addition, when she finishes antibiotics go put her on yogurt with live and active cultures--you will be amazed how much her health will improve. Yogurt prevents yeast infections, something very common in women who are constantly treated with antibiotics---adding probiotics wouldn't hurt. I've had problems with bladder and kidneys before, but this is my 3rd year without any of those problems, and I credit that to the use of nutratose, yogurt, and probiotics.
Also, if you get a chance, find a integrated medicine in your area---they take the best of eastern and western medicine and I have to say that it really works. Insurances pay for it as long as it is a primary physician.

I have had serious digestive problems, crippling athritis, and a flutter heart along with skin problems and after I was put on a series of vitamins and minerals(along with the nutratose which my doc approved of), did all my problems get much better---so maybe you need a different approach alltogether since it looks like the medication is not helping your mother--good luck
