HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Menopause and the associated change in hormone status can affect the risk of vaginal infections, would not normally be associated with increased urinary tract infections unless this is also linked to vaginal dryness.
A swab of the discharge and a sample of urine should be sent to the lab to determine the exact pathogen.
You may also need to be assessed to determine if there is anything affecting your immune system eg diabetes, infection , autoimmune diseases
I hope this helps
