There is no whiteness or itching that would be expected of thrush, thanks though.

Try Vagifem maybe. Blood is not enough to moisture that area.

Is it definitely internal, or the vulval area?

Sorry for the graphic description, it feels around the area where a tampon would go or where a man would enter a lady's parts.
The outer lips, the vulva feel fine, and so do the labia inside.

It sounds like atrophy. It affects everything down there.

I heard VA can be get worse, can it be reversed?
