Vaginal oestrogen (Vagifem) and vaginal moisturisers ( e.g Sylk) are what you need. Washes are just for cleaning. Avoid anything scented on the ‘lady bits'

I have been know to use dermol, if sore or itchy. ;)  It was recommended to my husband by dermatologist, and I read somewhere that it was good for vulval problems.

The doctor at the meno clinic gave me diprobase to wash this area and it has really helped, I do not have VA though just a wee bit of an itch sometimes not now though xx

My gynaecologist recommended using vagisil intimate wash to balance the ph levels. She mentioned that ladies used to bathe in vinegar to balance ph levels many years ago!
