Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are going through menopause. And during this period all women go under hormonal changes.
These cause hormonal imbalance.
So vaginal mucosa becomes dry and gives symptoms of itching and burning of the vagina.
Best treatment is adequate hydration.
So drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Keep proper hygiene of private parts.
If you are still not improving then consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination of vagina and hormone levels.
You may need hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
