Could the menopause cause a burning sensation in my vagina?

Falling hormones can affect the production of protective mucus in the vagina making it vulnerable to irritation, infection, and thinning skin.

You may find a Sea Buckthorn Oil Capsule helpful for this but it is best to get it checked out by your doctor as well just in case there is an underlying infection which is causing the burning.
