Everything feels worse when you are under immense stress, symptoms do get worse that's for sure!
My experience with Vaginal Atrophy is the symptoms progressively get worse, never better, therefore the sooner you start the treatment the better because it can take months to take full effect. My symptoms became so chronic it was impossible to sit down, the burning was intense and the non stop peeing.
My regime is Vagifem pessaries, Ovestin cream used locally and very important, a feminine moisturiser, I use Sylk, this is now my daily routine.
These symptoms have all calmed down now and I am back to feeling normal again, getting that sorted will help you to feel calmer about the other issues you have with the menopause.
