@hick i have had a cystoscopy along with a complete Euro-dynamics testing it was suggested to me by my doctor leaving that choice to me i have had several other medical procedures that were much more unpleasant than that cystoscopy and to me it was very similar to having a catheter inserted would my doctor think i needed another i would not hesitate

@Icegoddess I don't know if I will ever be able to stop using estradiol. It's a synthetic hormone vaginal cream that I use 3 times a week. Prior to using estradiol I had not been on any hormone replacements, etc. I did try other non-prescription options but they didn't work at all.

@vcdrtI used the patch, but my gyn was adamant that I get off before 65 due to a higher risk for breast cancer. That's actually lower on my worry list even after having a biopsy years ago. I'm more concerned with Ovarian cancer due to family history.

@Icegoddess I can definitely understand your concern and think it's good you've considered the possible risks in continuing hormone treatment. Best wishes to you for good health.

@vcdrt I also use a pea-sized amt of Estradiol 3X/week and my doc said I will be using it for the rest of my life. I have a pelvic prolapse and that was the reason he put me on Estradiol.

Thank you all for your reassuring responses.
I've had a CT scan which could not show a full picture of my bladder due to hip replacement hardware on both hips that got in the way.
I too have been taking D-mannose and estriol cream.
Kidney and all other labs have all been fine.
I guess a cystoscopy is in my future
