Frequent UTIs and perimenopause.
Urinary tract infections that come back more often than they did at other points in your life. Sits within the same Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause framework. The bladder and urethra rely on estrogen-responsive tissue, and as that tissue becomes thinner with less estrogen, the natural barriers to infection are reduced.

How Primrose & Eve tracks frequent utis
Primrose & Eve lets you log frequent utis in two taps, with a five-point severity scale and optional trigger tags — stress, caffeine, alcohol, poor sleep, exercise, heat, food. After three weeks of logging, the app's pattern engine identifies what is making your symptoms better or worse, using the same statistical tests epidemiologists use. Those findings go into a clinical briefing your doctor can read and act on in the time you actually have with them.

What is frequent utis in perimenopause?
Urinary tract infections that come back more often than they did at other points in your life. Sits within the same Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause framework. The bladder and urethra rely on estrogen-responsive tissue, and as that tissue becomes thinner with less estrogen, the natural barriers to infection are reduced.
Is frequent utis a recognized perimenopause symptom?
Yes. Frequent UTIs is one of 34 named symptoms in the perimenopause transition. It is documented by ACOG. It is one of the less-visible symptoms — real and common, but easy to miss or dismiss in a short appointment.
How can I track frequent utis during perimenopause?
Primrose & Eve is designed for exactly this. Log frequent utis in two taps each day, and after a few weeks the app identifies patterns: whether certain triggers make it worse, whether it clusters at a particular time of day, and how it is trending over time. Everything goes into a GP Report — a clinical briefing you can share with your doctor.
