Hi

I'm new here, undiagnosed but looking like vaginal atrophy, I'm 36...awaiting a colposcopy

What discharge do you have a do you get bleeding? Burning outside of Vagina not urethra?

Thanks

Hello!

4 me it was like razor blades  :o up there: a feeling of sharp tearing when I walked or sat.  Add to that cystitis i.e. the constant need to pee : the place I was most comfy was on the loo ........ GP noted symptoms and recommended 'ovestin' - do read the threads about vaginal atrophy: make notes.   Forewarned is forearmed ;-)

 :welcomemm:  as oestrogen levels drop the body may become dry: inside and out, including the vaginal area.  Skin; nostrils; deep in the ears; scalp ....... I have itching on my insteps when I remove my socks, it's not constant as it was a few years ago.  No problems during the day.

A good moisturiser may help.  Keeping a mood/food/symptom diary is useful too.
