Hello,
am new at this, am going through for a few mo.
what seems like a vaginal infection, but have found this is just due to my menopause, going nut's with it.
no real infection but just burning, it comes and goes,
have heard its due to dryness, am trying KY.
any help out there ?
thank you so much............

Hi Becky

~ Welcome to the Board ~

Has your situation been diagnosed by a doctor ? Your post isn't very clear, but I developed a pelvic inflammation during peri menopause which I didn't even know I had until an internal exam.

Your doctor will need to examine you inside and out and run blood tests.This is importnant because if you don't know exactly what it is you may be neglecting it or not treating it properly which may mean trouble in time depending on what it is. Chances are, it is nothing serious but it's best to rule that out straight away.
