Hi,
I am perimenopausal and as well as all the other hideous stuff I have now got intense itching and soreness down there… is this a menopause thing or could it be something else? I don’t think it’s thrush as no other symptoms, no discharge (gross word sorry) definitely not sti, no chance of that. Just wondering whether to try a thrush treatment or go GP. Also will HRT help with this if it is related? I am going to call GP next week and try and start HRT as have been managing so far but things have all started to get worse lately. Thanks!

Yes this is definitely a peri symptom. You might have vaginal atrophy. Gp can prescribe local oestrogen for treatment. I get dry skin and itchy scalp and dry eyes and have just started hrt. It was one of the first things to improve. So hrt might be an option if you have other peri symptoms.
