A member asked:

Is it safe to have a vaginal estrogen ring put in when someone has a uti. does that increase the risk of getting a vaginal infection also?

Opposite: It is safe to keep in while you have a uti. By promoting a healthy mucous lining with the estrogen ring, you might be decreasing the risk of infection in the vagina.
