Download the Free eBook 'Skincare Myths Busted' Is vaginal burning, itching, or pain just “a normal part of aging”? Absolutely not—and you don't have to suffer in silence. In this recap episode, Dr. Mina revisits her conversation with urologist Dr. Diana Londoño to break down the real changes that happen to vulvar and genital skin during perimenopause and menopause. From the drop in estrogen that causes thinning, dryness, and discomfort, to the surprising connection between vulvar skin health and urinary tract infections, this episode clears away the myths and delivers real, practical solutions. You'll also learn why topical estrogen is one of the most effective (and safest) treatments available, and why it's time to talk openly about a part of the body that's too often left out of the conversation. Key Takeaways: Menopause affects more than facial skin: Vulvar and genital skin also become thinner, drier, and less elastic due to estrogen loss. Functional impact matters: Shrinking of the labia minora removes protection around the urethra, increasing the risk of recurrent UTIs. Topical estrogen is safe and effective: Despite outdated warnings, localized estrogen can restore comfort and reduce infections without systemic absorption. Sexual activity isn't the only reason to treat: Even women who aren't sexually active benefit from vulvar estrogen therapy for comfort, bladder health, and overall wellbeing. The mind-body connection is key: Stress, grief, and stigma can worsen physical symptoms—awareness and holistic self-care matter. Normalize the conversation: Understanding and talking about vulvar health helps remove shame and empowers women to seek the treatment they deserve. Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, this episode will empower you to better understand your body, take charge of your health, and embrace aging with confidence.

Download my Free Guide 'In My Perimenopause Era' Download the Ultimate Affordable Skincare Guide When was the last time you thought about your vulvar health? If your answer is “never,” you're not alone. Most women avoid talking or even thinking about this part of their body, but during perimenopause and menopause, changes in vulvar and vaginal health can have a huge impact on your comfort, confidence, and quality of life. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Diana Londoño, a urologist who is breaking the silence on intimate health. We talk about the changes estrogen loss brings—from dryness, itching, painful sex, and recurrent UTIs to the lesser-known issues like bladder urgency and vulvar atrophy. She also explains how simple solutions like vaginal estrogen cream, hormone therapy, and lifestyle tweaks can protect your vulvar health and prevent years of suffering. ✨ Key Takeaways: Why vulvar health is central to your bladder, vaginal, and sexual health during menopause. How to know if your symptoms are normal aging or a red flag that needs further evaluation. The connection between UTIs, GSM (genitourinary syndrome of menopause), and vulvar atrophy. Why vaginal estrogen is safe, preventative, and worth considering even if you're not sexually active. How stress and mindset affect bladder symptoms and overall well-being. If you've ever felt embarrassed, ignored, or confused about what's happening “down there,” this episode will give you clarity and confidence.

Today, I am thrilled to reconnect with Dr. Kelly Caspersen, a urologist who empowers women to live their best love lives. She is a two-time author, with her latest being The Menopause Moment. In our conversation, we cover a wide range of topics, from navigating UTI purgatory and understanding the vaginal microbiome to how vaginal estrogen can dramatically reduce the risk of sepsis and death in the ICU. We unpack the evolving language of hormones- specifically progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone and we examine censorship and bias on social media, and the differences between prescribers and non-prescribers. We explore the effects of SSRIs on bone and brain health, changes in self-perception in middle age, and the effects of the baby boomer generation and the Women's Health Initiative, exposing the medical gaslighting behind the use it or lose it narrative. We also offer practical options for women who cannot take hormones, and Dr. Kelly shares her go-to supplements and those she avoids. This conversation is one of my recent favorites. Dr. Kelly's enthusiasm is contagious, and her straightforward approach makes complex topics clear, practical, and unforgettable. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why recurrent UTIs can feel like UTI purgatory How hormone terminology is evolving, and what that means for women in midlife The value of vaginal estrogen, and the potential it holds for saving women's lives How the approaches of prescribers and non-prescribers differ How SSRIs can raise the risk of bone fractures  The brain health and self-perception shifts that often occur in midlife  Why the use it or lose it belief is misleading, and how it veers into medical gaslighting How the baby boomer generation and the Women's Health Initiative still influence women's healthcare today Some alternative options for women who cannot take hormones Dr. Kelly shares her preferred supplements and those she avoids Bio:  Dr. Kelly Casperson, MD Urologist • Author • Podcaster • Women's Health Thought Leader Dr. Kelly Casperson is a board-certified urologist, best-selling author, and top-ranked international podcaster empowering women to take control of their health, hormones, and sexuality.

Worldwide, 150 million women get urinary tract infections (UTIs) yearly, and 30-44% of them get recurrent UTIs (defined as 2+ infections in 6 months, or 3+ in a year.)I was one of those women.UTIs are so prevalent that they are the second-most common reason for antibiotic prescriptions on the planet. And in case you've never had one, rest assured that UTIs are painful, disruptive, and deeply anxiety-producing.They are also, 90% of the time, contracted due to sexual intercourse.UTIs are a sex problem, which often also makes them a relationship problem. If you, as a man, has had a woman partner who was stressed about having sex out of fear of getting a UTI; a friend with serious health issues due to her gut biome being decimated by antibiotics; or a sex partner who was in tears, in despair at getting yet another one, you're far from alone.Fortunately, you be a hero to all the women in your lives by spreading the word about a solution:Good Kitty has an extremely effective prevention method. Their doctor-developed, urologist-approved formula supports good bacteria, neutralizes the bad when it matters (i.e. right after sex), and impacts the bacteria in the gut that cause UTIs, thus helping to prevent recurrence.This interview with Meghan Blake, CEO and co-founder of Good Kitty, is both entertaining sobering, enlightening, and uplifting. Also, I drop a few F-bombs, so that's always fun. ;)Real talk: Reliable UTI prevention is life-changing for both her sex life, and yours.Work with usIf you're committed to breaking old patterns and transforming your sex & love life in a real and lasting way, we'd love to work with you.

Ever wondered how far you'd go to care for someone you love? How much dignity you'd sacrifice? I found my answer on the side of I-20 during Atlanta rush hour.When my mother started talking to people who weren't there, walking into walls, and fidgeting constantly, I suspected a UTI—those sneaky infections that can make dementia symptoms appear dramatically worse. After three grueling weeks of attempting to collect a urine sample from my incontinent mother, we finally succeeded. With my precious cargo secured, I had exactly one hour to reach a lab 45 minutes away.What followed was nothing short of a caregiver's nightmare. Halfway to the lab, my body betrayed me, forcing an emergency roadside stop that left me sweating, shaking, and utterly humiliated—but still clutching that precious urine sample. You'll have to listen to the episode for all that went down - listener discretion advised!This raw, unfiltered story illustrates the invisible battles caregivers fight daily. We sacrifice comfort, dignity, and sometimes even our own health in service of those who depend on us. But in those moments of chaos and desperation, we discover reservoirs of strength we never knew existed.If you're caring for someone with dementia, remember this: UTIs are the worst. They can cause dramatic behavioral changes that mimic worsening dementia. Before assuming your loved one's condition is deteriorating, check for infection. And never, ever stop advocating—even when it means pulling over on a busy highway or challenging medical professionals who stand in your way.Subscribe to Parenting Up for more unvarnished truths about the caregiving journey.

Doctors Lisa and Sara are joined by Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Consultant Dr Callum Mutch for an overview of Antibiotics and Microbiology in General Practice. Doctors Callum and Jame host a podcast in Infectious Diseases called ID:IOTS and we wanted to do a crossover episode exploring common themes in Microbiology that we encounter in General Practice. We talk about the case of a woman with recurrent UTIs and a man with epididymo-orchitis. This lends itself to a discussion on general approaches to cases, microbes and antibiotics. We cover a little bit about antimicrobial stewardship at the end.    You can use these podcasts as part of your CPD - we don't do certificates but they still count :) Resources: Podcast: Infectious Diseases Insight of Two Specialists (ID:IOTS): https://www.britishinfection.org/education-events/idiots-podcast Antimicrobial Counselling Resources from Public Health Wales: https://phw.nhs.wales/services-and-teams/antibiotics-and-infections/harp-news/eaadwaaw-2021/resources/community-pharmacy-counselling-checklist/ Antimicrobial Counselling RCGP TARGET Resources: https://elearning.rcgp.org.uk/mod/book/view.php?id=12647 The Cynefin Framework for looking at decisions (Simple, complicated, Complex, Chaos): https://thecynefin.co/about-us/about-cynefin-framework/?srsltid=AfmBOopHNprchcOsISLVvXm2C5W-UU-oqHDkty_jo1IAAsupfoMu4_Cx Shared Decision Making Tool BRAN - Benefits, Risks, Alternatives, Nothing: https://www.england.nhs.uk/personalisedcare/shared-decision-making/decision-support-tools/how-to-use-a-decision-support-tool/#:~:text=Prepare%20patients%20to%20share%20decisions&text=In%20addition%20to%20the%20proactive,Nothing)%20or%20equivalent%20local%20initiatives World Health Organisation AWaRe Book: Access, Watch, Reserve Antimicrobial Book (can aid in decision making around which antibiotics to use.

In this powerful and informative episode, Lisa is joined by nurse and menopause health coach Amanda Otterman to unpack the realities of perimenopause and menopause. Amanda shares her deeply personal health journey—from adenomyosis to hysterectomy—and how it led her to become a passionate advocate for women's health. Together, they explore the lack of education, the stigma around hormone therapy, and why vaginal estrogen is more than just a “nice to have.” They dive into what it really means to support women through midlife, how men can better understand and show up during this transition, and why community connection and honest conversations matter now more than ever. ✨ Key Takeaways: Amanda's journey began with adenomyosis and resulted in a hysterectomy. Many women are left in the dark about perimenopause and menopause. Community education and workshops are essential for empowerment. Men need education too—so they can support the women in their lives. Midlife can be overwhelming; support systems are everything. Hysterectomies often create confusion around menopause symptoms. Vaginal estrogen is an underused tool that can improve quality of life. Hormone therapy advocacy is still deeply needed. A holistic, collaborative approach to women's health changes everything.

In this episode, Georgie unpacks the surprising root cause behind those mysterious health symptoms - blurred vision, dizziness, light-headedness, fatigue, fainting, skin rashes, gut issues, UTIs, and headaches - that seem to have no clear explanation. What if these aren't random at all? What if they're messages from a dysregulated nervous system, suppressed emotions, and deep subconscious patterns? Georgie shares why unresolved stress and unprocessed feelings often show up in the body as physical symptoms - and how you can begin working with your nervous system and subconscious to release them for good. If you've been stuck in a loop of “nothing's working” and feel frustrated or hopeless about your health, this episode will give you a fresh, empowering perspective.   Need more anxiety support?   Apply for a FREE 30-Minute Anxiety Relief Call - https://bit.ly/anxietyresetnow   Ready for a deeper transformation?

Bladder leaks, dryness, and low libido aren't exactly dinner table topics… but maybe they should be. These issues are way more common than we think, especially during and after menopause, and they have a huge impact on how we feel day to day. That's why I sit down with Dr. Rena Malik, a Board-Certified Urologist and Sexual Medicine Specialist who's made it her mission to talk about the things most people won't. We talk about everything from pelvic floor problems to how hormones like estrogen and testosterone affect our sexual health and bladder function. Dr. Rena shares why stress makes things worse (yep, even your bladder feels it), and how simple things like breathing or pelvic floor therapy can help you get back in tune with your body. She also breaks down what options are really worth exploring—like vaginal estrogen, testosterone therapy, and a few new treatments you may not have heard of yet. If your body's been sending signals you've been ignoring, consider this your sign to tune in and start listening. And hey, if you're in the mood to give your body a little extra support, I've been loving the new Mighty Maca Mango lately. It's refreshing, light, and packed with all the superfood goodness—plus, it tastes amazing in sparkling water (or turned into a popsicle).

Could vaginal estrogen be the missing piece for some of your menopause symptoms? Many women find it has been a game-changer for their relief.I often talk about the lack of current information many doctors have about hormones. This is a global issue, which is precisely why I wanted to have a leading UK menopause expert on the show.Have you ever felt like your own body was working against you? Like your mood, memory, or even sexual health just aren't what they used to be, and no one's really listening? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Louise Newson to dig into why so many women first experience these frustrations and why they feel such immense relief after speaking with a menopause specialist, especially after constantly being dismissed by other clinicians.Dr. Newson, a relentless advocate for women's health, challenges why hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are often denied to women, highlighting a pervasive medical bias against female physiology. She shares crucial insights on testosterone deficiency and its effects on the brain, the revolutionary benefits of vaginal DHEA (Prasterone) for recurrent UTIs, painful sex, and vaginal atrophy, and the potential for deprescribing opioids and antidepressants through hormone optimization. Tune in for a frank, evidence-based discussion that empowers you to advocate for personalized hormonal care at every stage of life.Episode Highlights:Challenging Medical Bias: We confront the historical medical bias denying women crucial hormone therapy (HT) and discuss its impact on overall health.Hormones, Mood & Brain Health: Discover how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone function as neurotransmitters, profoundly impacting mood, memory, and sleep. Learn how hormone optimization can even reduce the need for opioids and antidepressants.The Power of Testosterone: Beyond libido, we discussl how testosterone replacement can boost brain function, energy, and combat chronic joint pain.Vaginal DHEA: A Game-Changer: Hear about the revolutionary benefits of vaginal DHEA (Prasterone) for recurrent UTIs, painful sex, and vaginal atrophy.Advocating for Long-Term Health: Understand why hormone deficiency raises risks for major conditions like dementia and heart disease, emphasizing the need for personalized hormonal care for healthy aging.If this conversation has sparked questions or empowered you, don't keep it to yourself.

In this raw and revealing episode, our guest Roselle Pastetes shares how unresolved conflicts around territory, trust, and womanhood showed up in her body - through UTIs, painful cycles, and vaginal discharge - and how her eventual divorce brought resolution in more ways than one.We explore the nuances of GNM's bladder mucosa and uterine programs, the limits of perceptual resolution, and how sometimes the body asks us to make real-life changes we'd rather avoid. This is a conversation about honoring your inner knowing, releasing self-blame, and learning when it's time to let go - not just of symptoms, but of identities, relationships, and old stories.Find us on Instagram:Ashlee -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@alchemywithashlee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Abigail -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@ajpuccioni⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our personal websites:Ashlee -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠alchemywithashlee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Abigail -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠abigailpuccioni.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Where to find RoselleInstagram - @staywellwithroselleWebsite - ​​www.staywellwithroselle.com/If you would like to submit a question or comment about the podcast, please reach out to us at  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠freedomfromfearpod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In this mind-blowing episode of Lisa Fischer Said, urologist and author Dr. Nicole Fleischmann blows the lid off everything we thought we knew about women's health, pelvic floor function, and yes—why Kegels might actually be hurting you.

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #328! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel “off” but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.  In today's episode, I dive into the topic of yeast infections, BV, UTIs, and bladder infections in perimenopause. I share why these things tend to become more prevalent in our 30's and 40's and beyond and what we can do to create a healthy microbiome and vulvar health.  I reference this previous podcast done with CEO and founder of Good Clean Love, Wendy Strgar.

If bladder issues in menopause are keeping you from jumping for bone density or for jumping for joy. Or if laughing and sneezing or a need to consider hydration needs against access to a bathroom are real life and every day concerns you… we've got you today.  Bladder issues in menopause don't need to keep you from activities, and they may come with signs and symptoms that aren't the obvious urgency, burning or leakage. The information here about testing beyond traditional options just might make you want to re-listen and share this one.    My Guest: Dr Kelly McCann is a board certified internist and pediatrician specializing in functional, integrative and environmental medicine. She graduated Brown undergrad, Tulane Med School, fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Her medical practice, the Spring Center, is located in Southern California. She hosted virtual summits on MCAS and can be found on many podcasts, summits and @drkellymccann.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:09:09] What is a bacterial biofilm and how does that relate to bladder issues in women? [00:08:21] How do you know if you have a biofilm colonization? [00:13:26] Can you explain the testing technology and how it differs from a urinalysis and urine culture? [00:25:09] Other than UTIs and bladder issues, what might be some other signs that bacterial biofilms might be an issue?  [00:26:55] Are there other things that we should understand about this? (often associated with hypercoagulability which can mean an increased risk for heart disease) [00:30:58] Are there other options before or instead of antibiotics? If you personally got results back suggesting you do have bacteria, would you go the route of herbs or antibiotics?  [00:35:00] Cost of the test? And is it covered?    Bacterial Biofilm as Bladder Issues in Menopause   What is a Bacterial Biofilm? Mucus-like structures where bacteria live, can be found in the mouth, nose, GI tract, vagina, etc. These bacterial “homes” protect microbes from detection in standard lab tests. That means you can have symptoms, but your test results still show “normal.”   What is Next Generation Sequencing? Gives a complete and accurate picture of what's causing  your symptoms, even when your urinalysis and cultures are ‘normal'. Procedure: Scans the DNA of everything present in your sample (e.g. urine). Matches it to a vast DNA library of known organisms. Identifies exactly which microbes are in your bladder, how many, and in what percentages. Recommends treatment options by checking the medical literature for which antibiotics are effective against each bacteria. MicroGenDX does this test.   Signs You Might Have Biofilm Colonization: Chronic bladder symptoms (urgency, frequency, burning) without a confirmed UTI Recurrent UTIs that don't resolve or keep returning “Normal” urine tests but ongoing discomfort Other unexplained inflammation-driven symptoms like fatigue, rashes, headaches, joint pain, and more.   Relation to Heart Disease: Bacteria can travel from brushing your teeth and can end up in your coronary arteries and bladder. Biofilms can trigger clot formation for individuals who are genetically predisposed to forming clots or fibrin mesh. Systemic inflammation risk for individuals with low-level bacterial colonization that their body   Connect with Kelly: Website - Dr. Kelly McCann Website - The Spring Center Facebook - Dr. Kelly McCann Instagram - @drkellymccann    Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Solving Sleep Issues with CBD and Other Perimenopause Symptom Solutions Next Episode - What Stem Cell Therapy Taught Me About Recovery, Mindset, and Reinventing Downtime More Like This - True Core Confidence: Revolutionizing Pelvic Floor Fitness After 40   Resources: Short & Easy Exercise videos in this 5 Day Flip Challenge.

Max Trescott interviews Dr. John Trowbridge, a physician and former senior Aviation Medical Examiner, to tackle a hidden yet critical safety topic: how over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications contribute to general aviation accidents. Studies have found that up to 40% of fatal accidents involve pilots with impairing substances in their system—ranging from allergy medications to sleep aids to alcohol. The problem? Many of these substances are legal and even commonplace, yet can significantly degrade judgment, memory, attention, and coordination. Dr. Trowbridge emphasizes that many pilots—and even their doctors—are unaware of FAA wait-time guidelines. He explains the FAA's “5x rule,” which states that a pilot must wait five times the recommended dosage interval before flying. So if a medication is taken every six hours, the pilot should wait 30 hours after the last dose. For 24-hour medications like Zyrtec, the wait time stretches to five full days. The discussion highlights the particular dangers of first-generation antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine), which are highly sedating and frequently found in sleep aids like Tylenol PM, NyQuil, and Unisom. These medications, even when taken the night before, can impair cognitive function well into the next day. Alarmingly, Benadryl is the most commonly detected OTC drug in fatal GA accidents. Dr. Trowbridge also warns about second-generation antihistamines like Zyrtec and Xyzal. While marketed as “non-drowsy,” these can still cause subtle sedation, especially in combination with alcohol or other medications. Alternatives like Allegra and Claritin are usually safer and FAA-approved—but only after personal ground-testing and AME consultation. Beyond antihistamines, they explore other drug categories. For pain relief, medications like aspirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, and Aleve are generally safe, but anything with “PM” on the label likely contains sedating ingredients. Prescription painkillers like codeine are outright disqualifying. Dr. Trowbridge shares unconventional options too, like topical lidocaine, coconut oil, and even horse liniment—though with cautions about application and legality. Sleep aids are another minefield. Melatonin is the only one on the FAA's “go list,” and even it should be ground-tested first. Nasal decongestants such as Afrin and Sudafed can raise blood pressure and cause jitteriness, making natural remedies like saline rinses or cool vapor inhalation preferable. Cough medications also pose risks. Products with dextromethorphan (like DayQuil or Delsym) can sedate, as can multi-symptom formulas marked “PM” or “nighttime.” Gastrointestinal issues are more straightforward: most antacids like Tums and Maalox are safe, but anti-diarrheals like Imodium are not, due to sedation risks. UTIs are covered with non-sedating options like AZO and D-Mannose, but Dr. Trowbridge cautions pilots never to fly if symptomatic or on unfamiliar antibiotics. The conversation then turns to alcohol. The FAA's limit is 0.04%, but even lower levels can impair judgment, night vision, and reaction time—especially when combined with other medications or altitude-related hypoxia. Max cites an older FAA study showing that alcohol above 0.04% was found in 7% of fatal pilot crashes, with 3% involving both alcohol and drugs. Finally, Dr. Trowbridge emphasizes the importance of pilot self-awareness and due diligence. Most doctors are not trained in FAA regulations and may prescribe disqualifying medications unless reminded. He urges pilots to always research their medications, consult their AME, and even speak with pharmacists about interactions and cognitive side effects. Dr. Trowbridge's website, ClearedForTakeoff.info, offers in-depth presentations on pilot health concerns like sleep, sinus issues, inflammation, and safe alternatives to disqualifying drugs. His goal is to help pilots avoid both illness and medication risks, empowering them to stay flying—and stay safe.

Edie Perkins was a 46-year-old elite runner and cyclist when a catastrophic accident left her paralyzed from the chest down—just as she was entering menopause. In this candid conversation, Edie reveals how her hormonal changes intersected with her spinal cord injury recovery, leaving her with misdiagnosed UTIs, sheet-soaking night sweats she blamed on her injury, declining bone density, and a huge struggle to sort through her challenges and get quality care. Yet, through all of it, Edie continues to race (finishing second place in the handcycle division of this year's Boston Marathon), ski, and live an active life. We talk about it all and more this week. Edie Perkins served as Executive Director of the Kelly Brush Foundation from 2021 to 2025. She previously spent over twenty years managing businesses and developing curriculum products for Pre-K-12 schools. In 2017, Edie was struck by a driver while riding her bike and suffered a spinal cord injury (SCI). She is now paralyzed from the chest down. Always an athlete and active in the running and cycling communities, she sought out support after her injury and is now a competitive handcyclist and finished second at the 2025 Boston Marathon. She is thrilled to bring together her professional background, passion for sports, and new experience living with an SCI to help others thrive.Resources:The Kelly Brush FoundationGet 25% off all courses through the end of June 2025!

A bite-sized boost to your day! This mini is an excerpt from episode 403 with Dr. Kelly Casperson with a focus on the wide-ranging benefits of vaginal estrogen for women.

Story at-a-glance Frequent urination (more than eight times daily) often signals underlying health issues like urinary tract infections (UTIs), diabetes, prostate problems or medication side effects rather than simply aging Tracking your fluid intake and urination patterns with a bladder diary reveals triggers and helps identify whether the cause is behavioral, neurological, hormonal or inflammatory UTIs are a common cause of urinary frequency; pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue and cranberry products are often helpful before resorting to antibiotics Neurological conditions, emotional stress, anxiety and depression disrupt brain-bladder signaling; this contributes to urinary frequency Natural solutions include adjusting when you drink fluids, addressing constipation, supporting prostate health, strengthening pelvic floor muscles and treating underlying conditions like UTIs and anxiety
