When you say burning down below, could this be vaginal atrophy? Are you using any localised oestrogen? I understand you do not wish to try HRT but some members who are not on HRT will still use locialised oestrogen.

I am sorry to hear you are feeling so uncomfortable. I am glad you are going to talk to your GP. I hope you can get an appointment soon.
