Hello! I've been reading through the forum over the last week & prior to this, I'd thought my syptoms were unique. I'm pleased to read I'm not alone - although my sympathies go our to you all.
I'm 47 & for the last 8 years things have been slowly changing for me. I had a scan a few years ago for suspected ovarian cyst but it turned out I have fibroids whch is why my periods are so heavy for the 1ss time in my life. However 18months ago inertcourse became very painful - unbearable burning. This then spread to feeling as though I had thrush. Anyhow the result was finally after manyswabs etc I was prescribed ovestin. This worked for about 8 months & Now it has no effect. By then I, d had to change GPs & the one I saw after ruling out any infection again, just said keep using ovestin. BUT IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!!
My clitoris is a bit over sensitive, my cycles getting longer then shorter, night sweats, dizzy spells & my vagina is burning making even sitting hard at times unless I'm carefull not to put pressurein that area. So I presume I'm perimenopause? I will make an appointment to see the senior female GP - I just want the burning to go at the moment. My poor hubby is so patient, but will I be able to be pain free?
