Probiotic to prevent repeat bladder infections in menopausal women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if a daily probiotic (E. coli strain) can help prevent repeat urinary tract infections (cystitis) in women who have gone through menopause. If you have had multiple bladder infections and want to try a non-antibiotic option, this may be for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 55 and 70 years old and have gone through menopause.
- You have had at least 2 bladder infections in the last 6 months, or at least 3 in the last year, and one of them was confirmed by a urine culture.
- You are not taking ongoing antibiotic therapy to prevent infections (or are willing to stop).
- You do not have any serious kidney infection (pyelonephritis) in the past 6 months.
- You do not have chronic inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, and you are not allergic to the probiotic or its ingredients.

This trial tests two approaches to prevent repeat bladder infections in postmenopausal women: a daily antibiotic pill or a vaginal tablet containing healthy bacteria and estrogen. The goal is to see which method works better over 6 months.
This study looks at the bacteria living in the vagina, urine tract, and stool to learn why some women get repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs). The results may help doctors better prevent or treat UTIs in the future.
This trial studies different ways to prevent repeated bladder (urinary tract) infections in women. It may help people who keep getting these infections by testing safer or more effective prevention strategies.
This trial studies ASTARTE™, a probiotic, to see if it can reduce repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs). It may help people who get UTIs often by testing whether the supplement lowers how frequently they come back.
This trial studies a new way to help stop urinary tract infections (UTIs) from coming back by using “bacterial interference” (changing the bacteria in the urinary system). It may help people who have had UTIs keep returning despite past treatments.
This study tests whether a specific probiotic—Lactobacillus crispatus—can help prevent bacterial vaginosis from coming back. If you have had BV multiple times and recently finished antibiotics, you may be able to join.
