I'm 64 years old and I stopped having periods when I was 50. Could my recent vaginal inflammation be due to a hormonal imbalance?

Low oestrogen levels do affect the production of protective mucus in the vagina, leaving it vulnerable to infection, irritation, and thinning.

You may find Sea Buckthorn Oil helpful for this but in the meantime it is best to get it checked out by your doctor as well just in case there is an infection that needs treated.
