Anyone had experience with vaginal strep please?  Is this menopause related?

Any tips and coping strategies.

    I had this about 4 years ago ; I would have been about 44. Had the coil removed and the symptoms resolved

    HI, well a piece of garlic inserted vaginally definitely helped but its not exactly ideal - phew garlic!  Anyway, needs must.  I kept it in for 24 hours and it did help.  I’ve started taking garlic tablets as they are nature’s antibiotic and are antibacterial etc, should help,

    I’m not keen to take antibiotics from the doc, especially if the symptoms come back.  

    I have been using Evorel cream for dryness and I wonder if I have become sensitive to it.    When I use it now it stings.  Anyone else use this?

    Thanks
