I have been doing well the past few weeks. However yesterday the intense burning returned in the vagina as well as the vulva. I have been taking the hormone pill Osphena for 3 weeks and using a diluted baking soda wash after urination.  I am taking Zyrtec and Vitamin D3.  I usually take fish oil but had to stop it last Friday since I am having a cystoscopy this Friday.  My urologist wants to make sure my problem is not bladder related.  She really thinks it is  gynecological issue.  Has anyone tried Represh Gel for burning relief?  This is the worst burning I have had since this horrible VA began 3 years ago.  I am also doing site baths with baking soda which helps temporarily.  I am nervous about the upcoming cystoscopy due to the burning.   I must say I ate more sweets than usual the past 3 days.  I am not diabetic.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried Diprobase emollient ointment not the cream,  I am sure it's making a difference to me and I've had and still have at times every symptom possible with this and urinary problems too. It says you can actually wash with it too..
