for the past month I have had cystitis more on than off. I have had a 3 day antibiotic course but it hasn't gone and my pee feels warmer than usual. Is this a known symptom of peri?
Sadly - Urinary tract discomfort is common in peri. Many ladies are given ABs when there isn't an infection present.
Did your Dr take a sample before prescribing the ABs?
As oestrogen levels decline, the vaginal tissues dry up and can get sore and irritated, as can the urinary tract area - (Vaginal Atophy)
Perhaps go back to your Dr to see if you do have an infection and get the appropriate ABs if necessary. If there isn't an infection then local oestrogen can make things much more comfortable.
