54 Years Old. Have Itchy Clitoral And Irregular Period. What Cure Should Be Done?
Question: Hi,
I have a chronic clitoris itch at night for a couple of months now,
its redicilous itch, I scratch like a mad woman sometimes close to tears in frustation,
I keep myself clean with water after every urinating, I take bath 2 times daily, I use clean cotton panties, my husband doesnt have this so I dont think its contagious.. what is the cause? and immediate treatment?
I am 54 years old and for two months now I have iregular menstruation, possibly in premenopause situation,
I use anti itch powder, and sometimes this relieves the mad itch,
but The next night it would mad itch again and so on,
please explain to me what this is, and what the cure is,
thank you

Hello
Welcome and thanks for the query
As you are in perimenopausal stage , the itching is due to vaginal dryness.Apply estriol or conjugated oestrogen creams locally.These contain very low estrogens which do not get converted into estradiol in the body and regenerate the vaginal lining and thus help in reducing the itching problem.Another cause can be a yeast infection for which you can take itraconazole under doctor's prescription and guidance.
Keep the area moist by applying creams containig aloe vera.
Natural progesterone creams are also available in the market in the micronized form and are very good in relieving this problem.
You can take an antihistaminic tablet orally like levocetrizine or loratidine under your doctor's guidance and prescription.I am sure that combination of these creams and tablets are going to help you a lot.
Say good bye to itching and have a good sleep.
Best wishes
