Hi all,

I’m new here. Just looking for some advice please.

I am 42. A few months ago I noticed when I used sanitary towels I would get itchy around my clitoris hood. I changed my brand of towels and thought it wasn’t so bad for a month or two. Currently I am finding I am itchy most of the time, in the same place.

I don’t know why it took me a while to think this could be a premenopausal symptom.

Is it? If it is, do I need to see a doctor? Is there anything I can buy over the counter that could help?

Thank you much xxx

As oestrogen levels drop the body may become dry: inside and out  - deep in the ears, vulva/vagina, skin, eyes, nostrils ......... there is a condition - vaginal atrophy - which can be helped by appropriate treatment.  Have U tried a mositorisor on the dry area?  Some find that 'sylc' or 'yes' products help, I use KY jelly or a little 'ovestin' cream which the GP prescribed for atrophy.  To keep the area less dry and itchy.

Browse round.  Make notes ;-).  What R your periods up to? Mine waxed and waned for several years B4 disappearing.
