Not signs of peri menopause.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

These are definitely not signs of peri menopause.
You probably have a bacterial infection. Do consult a doctor. You need to have internal examination and vaginal swab culture sensitivity test done. Your doctor will also prescribe medicines based on clinical examination findings or after the results of swab test are available. If you are due for Pap smear test, you can get that done too.

If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama
