Hi all. My periods have officially gone wacky. I'll have a couple of 24 day cycles and then I'll have a 19 day cycle. This last one was 19 days and right after my period ended I suddenly got major vaginal dryness. but it also burned. Is this normal? Thanks.

    I can't speak for vaginal dryness but have wacky periods...they went from every fortnight to dragging back out to every 25 days now back to every three weeks...they were only going for three days now they are back to five days....so over it.

    Sounds "normal" to me. I've had itching/burning. Not so much dry there as other places. I'm post menopausal though, and it has gotten much better. Peri was hell! My periods were like that too. Two years of awful periods.

    I still get regular periods but I have the burning from time to time. It isn't severe enough to seek treatment but just annoying. I find that if I put anything on it things worsen so just best to leave it alone and wait. It seems to happen about every 3-4 months for me. Usually after the period- think it might be aggravation from pads/tampons? But definitely hormonal too. So annoying. Never had any issues down there until my 40s! Peri does suck. I hope this is normal b/c I don't know what else it could be.
