Yes Dandelion, I would have thought so. However, many GPs are not very clued up about VA. They often haven't had much training in menopause. Medical schools need to put this right. There is a campaign called Make Menopause Matter, run by Diane Danzebrink, which is seeking to address this issue.

Funny at 53 and post meno, my vagina is feeling sore today. Maybe that is why I am getting bloody discharge, cant be cancer, had womb lining thickness scan last jan 19, and hysteroscopy which showed no cancer also in Jan 2019. I use bio identical hrt, don't fancy using an oestrogen product that is not natural, but I can feel a sore vagina.
Despite adding 100mg more prog, reducing from 100mcg to 75mcg oestrogen then to 50 bleeding still comes back, not as bad as March 2020 when I bled heavy red multiple changes of pad, passed clots etc. The pinkish brown discharge has got to be vaginal atrophy, wonder if anyone knows of any bio id locally applied stuff I can put on my vagina?
OP I hope you can see another doctor, if all else fails there is always PALS they helped me before with a non meno matter.
