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?

I had a transvaginal ultrasound that showed a suspected endometrial polyp of 1.9x1.4x2cm and an enlarged uterus of 7.5x7.8x4.3cm. Last year, I had a hysteroscopy to remove a 2.5cm polyp, and the uterus was normal at 7.5x3.1x4.6cm. My endometrium thickness is still 2mm, with no fluid and normal ovaries. Should I be concerned about the enlarged uterus measurement, and what are the risks associated with recurrent polyps, especially given my family history of uterine cancer?
