Thanks for all the responses. You are all so knowledgeable. I have to say after using some extra vagifem I am a lot better. Hope it continues.  I have also started using Sylk. I find this most soothing and healing.  Also use dead sea salts and epsom salts in the bath,
, but will try ordinary salt water. Your replies have been most helpful. Take care all of you.

Hi, I'm having this problem too UGH ... I remember having it when I was about 19 and once I started the birth control pill it all went away so definitely hormone related!

It's flared up again this week;  I've been on Femoston Sequi for 6 weeks and also using Ovestin cream.  I only use it on the 'outside' areas as that's where it's itching but doesn't seem to be helping so might start using it 3 times a week instead of twice.

I'm nervous about trying the Vagifem as not been in a relationship for over 7 years so don't want anything 'intrusive' or have to 'insert' anything as would probably go into shock haha!

Oh isn't it awful? 

Hope you feel better soon x

The itching problem probably starts from inside the vagina itself.  The menopause results in everything drying up and the skin becomes thin and more sensitive so the balance is out generally.  Bacteria from the bowels will easily get to the whole area as well which fuels the chance of bacteria etc taking hold.  Local oestrogen will, and does, help to restore the healthier environment within the vagina so should help things generally.  The fillers in both the oestrogen creams and Vagifem can irritate a bit but only using the cream on the outside won't be enough.
I do think it's worth using one of the vaginal moisturisers that are available to help with dryness and these products usually help to keep the flora balance as it should be - it is trial and error with these products till you find something you like and they are often expensive but it's worth experimenting with things like Hyalofemme, Multi Gyn Actigel, Replens etc. to see if this helps.  DG x
