Re: Uncomfortable lady area- am I going crazy?
I had no issues with my ladybits until I went through the menopause. I had period woes, but no problems with my undercarriage whatsoever.
It started when I began to have a pressure feeling in my vagina (which also coincided with a hefty bout of constipation) anyhoo, Doc fingered me and said, 'Nothing of concern up there, Mrs B, but there is some atrophy'.
Me: A trophy? I was thinking my vagina had won an award for something?
I was given no more details than that so it was up to me to fill in the gaps..
Turns out that the skin of the ol' vageroo thins dramatically - causing itching, paper-cuts and soreness. Not only that, but the vagina itself shortens - which is why I came to have to use some most un-sexy dilators to open the damn thing back up again.
So, I joined Facebook groups for 'issues of the fanny' and my symptoms (and yours) suddenly became extremely common, and from all age groups!
Obviously you're not post-meno because you are having periods, but maybe what helps me can help you to feel more comfortable?
I use several creams to help with the itchiness/soreness (Olive and Bee and Yes products are both great) but occasionally I have to bring in the big guns - Trimovate - which literally takes a matter of hours to sort out my tiny tears (that's a small tear in the skin, not the doll). On top of this, I use non-bleached loo roll and I don't use any kind of bath oils. I also put my kinckers through an extra rinse when I wash them to get rid of the chemicals in detergents - even though I use teh sensitive Non-Bio ones. As my loo is by the sink, I flick some water at my undercarriage when I've had a wee because urine irritates sensitive skin, and if you're a 'sprinkler' like me - that can make things very uncomfortable down there!
I've literally never paid so much attention to my fadge, but it helps to keep things annoyance free, you get me?
All the best.
