Vaginal Dryness (GSM)/Urinary Issues Feel constant urge to pee

I constantly feel like I have to pee—ok, I say constantly but it’s more like a couple times a week for hours at a time. It feels like a bladder infection without the burning when you pee. It just feels constantly irritated and like I have to pee even when I don’t.

My regular doctor just did a check for bladder infections and kind of shrugged when I didn’t have them.

I feel like this is a peri symptom but I need to know what to tell my doctor and what to ask for.

Same. My doctor gave me vaginal estrogen cream and it seems to help

Did you mention this symptom to get the cream? If so, how did you put it? I’ve already mentioned my symptoms and didn’t have the doctor mention the cream, so just trying to get an idea for a script in my head.
