I got my period a week early and then again on the day I should have originally started. I am 46 years old, always regular, and not using contraceptives. My mother has vaginal cancer, and I had two ovarian cysts removed in my early 30s. I exercise regularly and have been more active lately. I also experienced abdominal pain and cramping during intercourse. Could this be the onset of menopause, and how can I balance my hormones?

I have been experiencing severe vaginal and anal itching for two weeks. I am 62 and not sexually active. The itchiness is fairly constant and relieved by anti-itch cream. My skin is dry, especially in the perineum area. I am using Vagicil anti-itch cream, high blood pressure meds, and antidepressants. What could be causing the itching and what can I do about it?
