TMI peri-menopause question

Name changed for obvious reasons! I am 48 and pretty sure I am peri-menopausal. I'm just wondering if I have come across another bizarre peri-menopause symptom? Basically my vaginal odour has changed (got stronger.) These last 6 months or so when I go to the loo I can smell I am whiffy only a few hours after showering. This most definitely didn't used to be the case. Also, my wee often seems rather smelly too, not a 'normal' wee smell. Its a delightful combo Sad (What other indignities face me I wonder?) Anyone else noticed similar, or is it nothing to do with my age/stage of life? Its def not bacterial vaginosis or similar btw, have had that in the past and know what thats like- it really is just how I smell these days.

I am 47 and perimeno and my vag is drying up and shrinking, hurts,sore and my prolapse has decided to play up, all from the dwindling oestrogen I am going to see a consultant on Wednesday. There is a really good forum called menapause matters it will ansewer all your questions.

I would go to your gp for a swab though.
