Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to hormonal imbalance. Estrogen deficiency can give such symptoms. Combined OCPs or estradiol creams will be helpful for this.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
