Does Menopause make things worse
Posted , 6 users are following.
i had my last period at the beginning of the year and although I'm happy to see the back of them I have since had numerous flare ups and the itching has been ridiculous, it has me demented through the night. Has anyone else had the same experience.

my Vagifem strength is also 10 mg. I do sympathise because I too frequently get really sore in that particular area. LS is a horrendous condition and nobody has an answer. I don't feel my GP is particularly sympathetic and my dermatologist seems to imply all they can do is watch it in case it develops into cancerous cells and carry on with the treatment given as there is nothing else!

If you have the anal itch you may want to use canestan cream as well as the Dermovate (Clobetasol)- make sure you are REALLY clean use - try spraying with a shower head if possible - when I am away from home I use the hairdressing spray atttached to a bath near the loo to make sure no body fluids are left on the skin; barrier cream and all the ususal stuff re smellies tight clothing. Do you have HRT? it could well help as well
if the itch is REALLY awful you could try keeping the buttocks apart with a cotton - or silk- ironed hankie- the ironing will kill off most germs - after you skin is protected, especially at night
To calm the redness try crushed ice in a plastic bag which is wrapped in a hankerchief!
Good luck and try not to scratch
