Hey Anne, I had that itching a few years back and it was enough to make me lose my mind. I bombed myself w/ tea tree Essentual Oil, took Epson salt baths. It’s kind of a blur now, but I know I ended up taking that Diflucan, but it would always come right back. it’s the hormone fluctuations that causes it I believe. I would put drops of Teatree essential oil on a mini pad and put that in my panties. I am 53, been post menopause for three years now. I think it was two years ago I was having that so bad. it truly is bothersome. only use white vinegar when washing your underwear, I don’t use any soap when I wash at all cause I believe anything can set off the pH balance. And I believe there’s also a probiotic you can take for female flora, ask your pharmacist about it. I mean seriously, the humiliating things we have to put up with. be careful with the toilet paper you use, because I noticed it aggravates it. and instead of wiping try patting. I think there is organic toilet paper you can buy. sorry for any miss spells or no capitalization, this forum is kind of messed up. Best of luck !

Jaynie... I have had that really bad, off and on the past two weeks and it’s always worse at night, it Has to be hormonal fluctuation. and it’s almost like burning, it’s horrible. I thought it was this new Paul Mitchell hairspray I got but then realized it was another menopause symptom ... what a surprise… Not 😉 make sure you’re not using any shampoo and conditioner with parabens or sulfates, Shea Moisture makes great shampoos and conditioners with no harmful chemicals 😃 One night it was bothering me I bombed my head with coconut oil.

Hi Anne
im two years post meno and 52
i had itching utis soreness pain in and outside vagina
I tried vagisan
It is not hormone based and you can get it from chemists and online
It has really helped me
It comes with an applicator do you can use up inside as well as outside
I was prescribed a hormone cream from my doctor but was reluctant to use it and havent had to so far
Hope this helps x

i just had this happen to me a couple of weeks ago for the first time and i wondered if it was related to hormones. At first i thought it was my urethra but then i realized it was more to the front. it felt itchy and sore at the same time and it felt like it was coming from the inside. did it feel like that to you?

I am sure the other ladies are on to something about the hormones. I just wanted to add that I got "down there" burning and itching and terrible smell. For me it was my nether regions expression an irritant contact dermatitis. I changed soaps to something super mild with no surfactants (ingredients that strip oil but make the suds) and I now wash my laundry only in vinegar.
It all got better in about 10 days or so.
