Bladder and Estrogen

Have a question regarding bladder health. Had a total hysterectomy. Have no ovaries, no uterus, etc. I use the .5 estradiol patch. I am only 44 and was told I need alot more estrogen. My level was 70. I developed a UTI (only the second one in my whole life) and it's taken me months to get rid of it as it embedded into my bladder. I have begun using vaginal estrogen but sometimes it appears to irritate my bladder more. Its a feeling as if it's "waking up" in a sense. Has anyone had this and how long did it take the estrogen to work??
