My vaginal area keeps swelling up and is quite itchy and painful. Is this a symptom of the menopause?

This is very common in the menopause but it is best to get it checked out by your doctor as well just to rule out any infection.

In the meantime you may find Sea Buckthorn Oil helpful.

Please see my page on vaginal dryness and my blog - An intimate problem - for more information.
