    Hi Alison, were you treating the LS? For  how long? I also went into menopause very early at 40 because of hysterectomy.  Lack of estrogen can do some weird things to your privates ! Have you been on any estrogen and testosterone replacement?  I started bio identical hormone therapy about three years ago and it has made all the difference !  Now I am not saying to use hormone replacement to treat LS, but there is some research out there that says it may be a part of the problem.  You need to find a good gynocologist! I am currently treating my LS with steroid cream and CBD balm.  Will let everyone know how it goes !
