Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of 0.005% estriol vaginal gel to prevent urinary tract infections in postmenopausal women with vaginal atrophy and recurrent urinary tract infections.;Secondary Objective: - Evaluate the effect of 0.005% estriol vaginal gel on the presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in postmenopausal women with recurrent urinary tract infections. - Evaluate the effect of 0.005% estriol vaginal gel on the different symptoms and urinary signs, and on vaginal pH in postmenopausal women with recurrent urinary tract infections. - Evaluate the safety and tolerability of vaginal estriol gel at 0.005% in postmenopausal women with recurrent urinary tract infections. - Evaluate the acceptability of 0.005% estriol vaginal gel in postmenopausal women with recurrent urinary tract infections.;Primary end point(s): Number of episodes of urinary tract infection at the end of treatment (week 24).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 weeks
