Hi all
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has had this condition as I think I have it. What were the symptoms and how did you resolve it?
Thanks so much
Xxx

I’ve been told I might have this - did you get it resolved x

Hello @keeponplodding7 .

It actually turned out to be genitourinary syndrome of the menopause that wasn't really responding to the standard treatments. I'd bear this in mind if you are 40 or more. There are also the other vaginal infections such as thrush, BV or Aerobic Vaginitis. Perhaps worth considering? I know a bit about these so feel free to ask me questions if you like.

Hope you get sorted. Xxx

Thank you - I’m just turning 43. Vaginal estrogen didn’t seem to help but maybe I haven’t given it long enough. It’s been like this since Feb - high % of lactobacillus- I have taken two microbiome tests - they have told me to try baking soda baths. The only thing that makes me question the cv is the higher ph. I’m so confused but think maybe it’s a hormone thing. Considering going on the Pop to see if it balances me out as symptoms seem worse when estrogen is high…..glad you got to the bottom of it
