VA mimics by causing repeated urine infection-type feelings: burning, need 2P a lot and often, soreness .......... because the oestrogen levels are dropping the body becomes dry, inside and out. 4 me it was continual need2P with irritation around the belly button area which sitting on the loo relieved as the muscles to shut off the urine flow was to sensitive to work.
Get that VA treatment up there every night Lime - for ever if necessary. Don't overthink the why's/where's, ABs will relieve symptoms but will not replace the oestrogen being lost. When. my symptoms niggle I take nurofen to ease those feelings. It can be Trial and Error so what works for 1 may not work for others so U need to use every night for
2-3 weeks initially to get the condition under control.
Let us know Lime how you get on.
