I've been having a slew of annoying vaginal symptoms lately - dryness, stinging, pain and burning. I've been through repetitive treatments for yeast and BV to no avail. My pH is said to be normal. The symptoms are very cyclical, occuring during the second half of my cycle up until my period.

I saw a vaginitis specialist yesterday who gave me Estrace cream to apply twice daily due to vaginal thinning. He said I'm very "thinned out" and red around my vulva. He said it can be caused by low estrogen levels.

I'm curious if anyone else has gone through this and is NOT menopausal. Was it a hormone imbalance? What had contributed to the imbalance? I'm 25 and have been on Yaz for the past 4 months and, because of other annoying side effects, am going off it after this month. I've dealt with the symptoms for a while before being on Yaz, but it seemed to exacerbate things.

Thoughts? Experiences?
