If U need treatment for Vaginal Atrophy - this is a totally different condition. As oestrogen levels drop, the body may become dry: inside and out; skin, scalp, deep in the ears, nostrils, eyes, between the toes, anus and vagina.
The idea to treat VA is locally - either 'ovestin' or 'vagifem'. If U have a womb you need a form of progesterone.
Your GP could refer you to an NHS Menopause Clinic. In the meantime, ask for VA treatment which can take a while B4 the vagina is plumped up and less itchy. U don't need an examination your GP/Nurse Practitioner should prescribe. Don't be fobbed off: treatment can be used every night if necessary!
