Question : i have burning in my vaginalarea
Brief Answer:
Can be due to vaginal dryness.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A burning sensation in vagina at your age can be due to vaginal dryness due to lack of estrogen. Applying moisturizers or an estrogen based cream can help in decreasing it. In case the burning is persistent then it is best to consult your gynecologist for a vaginal swab culture to rule out vaginal infection.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
