UTIs are one of the most common reasons women seek medical care, but many symptoms people attribute to a urinary tract infection may actually be caused by something else. In this episode of Life Without Leaks, we sit down with board-certified urogynecologist Dr. Jannah Thompson to separate fact from fiction when it comes to UTIs. 

Dr. Thompson explains what truly defines a UTI, why urine cultures matter and when antibiotics may - or may not - be necessary. She also discusses the surprising role that menopause, estrogen, hydration and prevention strategies play in reducing recurrent infections. Whether you're struggling with frequent UTIs, worried about urinary symptoms, or simply want to better understand your bladder health, this conversation offers practical, evidence-based guidance to help you take control of your care.
