It is definitely a thing and really does cause the frequent urination and urgency. My doc explained that the bladder has similar estrogen receptors and reacts accordingly when estrogen levels are low. It got a little better on HRT but I am headed towards an estrogen cream.

Menopause has been brutal and makes me wonder how generations of women before us kept their mouths shut about it. It is one of the reasons I love Gen X - this is intolerable, and we have found ways to rectify it.
