Hormones after weaning help! UTI symptoms but no UTI

[SunnySide1992]

Hey everyone so here's the info....

Got pregnant and breastfed for 2 years, got pregnant again whilst breastfeeding and still feeding now but have cut down feeds alot and over night completely.

Got my periods back 18 months pp. Have had 4 periods since. But lately I have had UTI like symptoms! Had a urine test and came back negative, and told me to go back if symptoms continued which I'm currently waiting on a 2 week appointment. But is this a hormone thing?
TMI but stingy vagina and on and off sciatica pain aswell, what is going on!?

Had a c section with my last pregnancy

Yes OP, this could well be a hormonal imbalance caused by low estrogen and high prolactin during and post breastfeeding. It can cause vaginal dryness, thinning tissues and soreness. Ask your GP for Estriol cream to treat the dryness. This is is fine to use whilst breastfeeding, it will plump up the vaginal tissues and make you much more comfortable.

Yes, about to the same as above - changes in hormones and vaginal dryness. For me it lingered until I stopped breastfeeding.
