Pelvic health: UTIs and vaginal atrophy + probiotics and natural remedies | Liz Earle Wellbeing 

As someone who has vaginal atrophy I wanted to thank you Liz for discussing this topic. I don’t think women realise just how common or debilitating this is. Especially at an age where intimacy can drop off a cliff if you don’t tackle this underlying issue. My female doctor was not that helpful to me so to have a community where information is researched and shared is invaluable. 🙏😘

Extremely informative- thank you so much 👏👏👏

Another fabulous informative talk Liz thank you so much 😊

Thank you for the fantastic shout out Liz! All about those two super strains for helping to rebalance the vagina's microbiome 💜

I’m 76 using oestrogen. Just recovering from a vaginal boil. Not a happy bunny. Your video was very comforting and useful, bless you

This has been helpful, thank you.

just went into early surgical menopause...so thank you for these tips...

I found this video so useful, you explained so clearly. At 85 I have had UTI’s for many years antibiotics given, but now have the vaginal atrophy, so painful. I will certainly try things you mention Thankyou.

I have athropy and lately getting cystitis frequently ( very surprised as I never had any issues before menopause in my life). Anyway, I am using cranberry sachets with probiotics and for 3 days oregano oil when I get flare ups , it does wonders!! Finally pain free without antibiotics. I researched myself on the internet and RU-vid as my gynecologist wasn't really giving me any other solutions.

Thank u so so much

Great advice. I also just discovered PACs!

Thank you

Thank you for all the suggestions. I have a history of repeated UTI's but in the last year it's more of atrophy symptoms. Have used probiotics for years but they don't seem to work as well so I'm going to order the one you recommended.

I am 49 y.o lady from Manila Philippines. I watched this video and find it very helpful to me. I will try to look around if all these localized estrogen treatment from UK are available here. And if I can afford to buy. I wish they are not very pricey Thanks for doing this video God bless u back

Thank you so much for this one, have got my Mum to listen as she suffers a lot so she is going to get the garlic capsules etc and see if they help as just keeps getting given antibiotics from the doctor.

What is the garlic that you recommended in this video I was unable to see the brand

What does the science say about the safety of Intrarosa for breast cancer survivors?

The presentation is well,but doctor how can I get the drugs. Pliz advise

I purchased some cranberry supplements for my constant frequent urination due to atrophy, within 3 days my bladder got far worse. I then did some research and was shocked to stumble across some evidence that suggested that cranberry can actually be a bladder irritant. I've reached the point now where I'll be asking my GP for topical oestrogen. HRT has been wonderful but unfortunately the only thing it hasn't helped with is atrophy. I think some of us need both HRT and localised oestrogen.

Hi Liz, thank you for this video! I’ve just turned 24 and I have been suffering from UTI/cystitis symptoms on a regular basis recently. I know I’m young so I thought my oestrogen levels would be fine, but is it common for young women to have a drop in oestrogen levels? Also I tend to have numb/tingly legs and shortness of breathe, at points where I get these urine symptoms. So I was wondering if that was normal? I’ve spoken to doctors but they either say that you don’t get numbness in legs with UTI or that I could be deficient in vitamin B12 (usually with confused looks on their faces which isn’t reassuring). Thank you for recommending the garlic tablets and others. Im definitely going to try these.🙏🏻 Also I just want to say a big thank you for all you are doing for women’s health in general! My mum has been following you for years and her health has changed and improved so much thanks to your advice and the work you do with different health experts.💗👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much for your video. Can I just check on a day to day bases would you take the probiotic and garlic and if so how many daily? You take the other only when needed. X

As of November 2021 Liz Earle Optibac has 1 more additional culture in it

Please, Liz can you put those names of what you recommend? Many thanks 👋🤗🥰🌺🌷🌹🙏🏼

Please post the names of these supplements here. Thank u

Hi Liz, Just wondering do you have any videos on BIS and pelvic pain. I think I have IBS which flares up from time to time and would like to know which probiotics would, thanks.

Hi Liz, I have just recommend that my mother watches this and I have sent her the remedies that you share. However, she takes tablets for blood pressure and heart medications and wonders if she will be able to take these as she cannot take St Johns Wort? I am so grateful that you highlight this subject as I'm sure a lot of women just suffer in silence because they don't actually know that there is something that can help..Thank you.

Do the garlic supplements cause one to have a garlic-smelling breath?

Do you take d Manos daily or just when symptoms arise? Thank you!

I've been told my problem is nerve pain and recommended Gabapentin. Not sure it could be nerve pain as I've never ridden a horse or bicycle How else could I have damaged nerves? I have not responded to estradiol or estrogen treatments.

I discovered your podcast 2 years later and it lines up with the research I'm having to do myself because: Am I the only woman that finds she gets top-notch HRT treatment when she utilizes doctors "outside of the insurance networks, that only accept cash, no insurance"?? When I could no longer afford the multi thousand dollar treatment I was receiving in my mid-50's, and had to start relying on doctors through my Blue Shield of CA PPO insurance (which ain't cheap either!), my general MD was clueless; my new OB/GYN was giving me doses so diluted in comparison to my cash-paid doctors, that all my symptoms are miserable and not being properly handled! I have sex and I can't sit for 3 days after; I have horrific hot flashes leaving me dripping with sweat in my proper work attire, it is miserable! So I am now doing my own research so I can instruct my doctors what to prescribe to me!

Is this the way to spell Dmanose please?🤔

You mention you keep your probiotics in the fridge. Optibac say they don’t need to be kept in the fridge. Is it best for me to put them in the fridge?

It's great to talk about estrogen replacement therapy. People are kept in the dark about how the creams are made. They are made from female horse urine. The horses are kept in stalls that are so small the horses are unable to move. The horses are hooked up to a catheter which takes their urine. These horses are pregnant or had their foals. The males are sent out to be slaughtered because you cannot get estrogen obviously from a male horse. Once the mare's are unable to produce estrogen they are then slaughtered. This is the most inhumane way to get estrogen replacement. It's disgusting and so dated in medical science it should be banned. Oh and this is happening in Canada.

Glass of wine? Probably not?! My thought, tea, decaf coffee but yes water!
