Peri menopausal period will predispose to infections because of hormonal changes. But get your blood sugar checked. Diabetes will also cause frequent uti. Also get checked for any anatomical defect like reflux , which can also cause frequent uti. Take care of your hygiene too. Improve your immunity also.
