The problem is realizing that you have a UTI. Post menopause, it’s more difficult to determine, but I’m not a doctor and I don’t know why.
I hope it’s that itching is just not a symptom, but I worry that itching/burning is just more frequent after menopause and women learn to live with a baseline discomfort level (the things nobody tells you about what can happen to your body during and post pregnancy and menopause are truly concerning, both in amount and severity- I get that I’m an adult and need to educate myself, but it’s hard to know what you don’t know).
Either way, the first reported symptom for elderly women with UTIs is often them going fucking nuts (sometimes mean, sometimes just nonsensical behavior).
