    Years Of Itch After Menopause

    Hello, my mother is 60 years old and she is suffering from genital itch that comes and goes for years after menopause.
    The diagnosis of each doctor is always different, the PAP tests are normal,other tests were performed, different medications were taken through the years but the condition is still there.
    Vaginal atrophy, fungus were some of the results.
    Anyone with something similar and some advise?
    She is really desperate and my heart aches cause I know what she is going through....
    Thank you in advance.

    genital itch or thrush

    Has your mother had a diabetic test ? because this can happen to them.She can buy a glucose testing kit from the chemist and test her blood herself if she didn't want to see her doctor.It's easy to do and a result in one minute.Get her to test her blood glucose and let me know what the result is.Or if the reading is very high then go and see your doctor.

      Hello and thank you for your advise. She is not diabetic, she was tested in the hospital. The itch and pain lasts 1-2 weeks and then when it gets better in the vagina area it moves under the breast and it looks like a skin rash, also it shows in between her toes on her feet, the skin looks like it's peeling and it is itchy too.
      Any suggestions anyone?
      Thanks
