Hi!
Welcome to HCM!

You need to consult a gynecologist.

As per the description of events in your case, considering your age and lack of menses for the last 5 years there may be possibilities of either Atophic vaginitis ( inflammation of vagina due to lack of oestrogen) or may be some serious problem like polyps or cancer of the uterus. So, you have to see a gynecologist for your proper check up like general examination, pelvic examination and the relevant investigations as to be advised by the doctor.
Hope it should not be a serious problem
Take care.
Regards!
