OK, this is a sensitive question....
I am 50 & missed a period in October & also last month. This mo. I feel like I will get a period but have not yet. A few days a week I will get a hot flush for a few minutes during over a period of a few hours. None during the night & not really really hot to the point of making me sweat.
My main complaint is really bad vula itching. This has been going on for a few yrs. I did see my dr. about when it first started & they had me see the nurse practitioner who said it may be hormonal & they gave me something to use internally which did nothing. Sometimes is really hard to resist scratching - any suggestions?
thanks - sucks getting old :?

I have had this problem off and on over the last few years. I am 42 and was told at age 38 that I was perimenapausal. Anyhow, I found that when I would first start feeling the itching I would drink a couple of glasses of 100% cranberry juice (not cranberry cocktail) and that would eleviate the symptoms for awhile, not it seems to be about a once a month problem. Also, make sure this isn't somehow yeast related.
