Hi , I’m now 61 and also just been to the doctors with all the same symptoms as you .
I was checked out and was told the white patches were Lichen sclerosus and I was given a strong cream to put on I have used this over the last 2 weeks and it’s all looking a lot healthier. I also had thrush and that’s reoccurring all the time .

when I was at home looking at my bits I noticed what I thought were bits looking a little strange , so today I spoke about it with the doctor she told me about Vaginal Atrophy this was also new to me , please read up on these two things I have mentioned it may help when you go to the doctors.

I had my coil taken out a month ago and up until this week I had no symptoms of the Menopause, now I have had what I assume are hot sweats . I mentioned all this to the doctor and she has given me also cream to use twice a week on my bits and pesserys called vagirux to keep my insides a bit healthier. The cream is called Ovestin (Estriol) 0.1% the cream for the white patches is called
Clobetsol propionate, . Hoping this sort of helps .
