UTI's and discomfort in the vagina have been a cross to bear for the last few years as a complication of polymyalgia but at last I think I have found something to help although I have said this before and then succumbed again. This is a vaginal moisturiser called YESVM which is all organic and rehydrates the tissues so that they are less susceptible to infection. It is available on the NHS. I felt better as soon a I started and have had it for 3 weeks now. So fingers crossed I won't deteriorate again. All our pooled knowledge is such a boon.

You might laugh at me but what I use is Organic coconut butter, it is pure and cheap. Don’t buy the product without smell that quality is inferior .
Interesting, rarely discussed issue that may be an issue for more of us than we know.
Thanks for bringing it up!
👏🏼🙏🏽

There are recommendations for coping with interstitial cystitis that might be useful to you.
I noticed early on with my PMR journey that I could no longer drink citrus teas or spicy teas. I've never suffered with UTIs or cystitis, but definitely had new sensitivity. I assume it was part of the skin thinking that hit me with Pred.
Good luck.
