Urologist: Consider seeing a urologist for work up for frequent urinary tract infections. Office cystoscopic exam and vaginal exam are often performed. Many times low estrogen levels resulting in urethral lining atrophy is the culprit. Topical estrogen cream applied to the urethra often can make a big difference.
