Now that I have entered the menopause, my groin area gets excessively sweaty. It gets so wet that it drenches my knickers. and the smell is just awful. I have to wash repeatedly. It smells worse than armpits. I never had a sweat problem down there when I was younger. What's going on, and how do I stop the drenching sweat?

Falling oestrogen affects the production and PH of the vaginal mucus which can cause a different smell and discharge.

This is very common and most women will experience this at some point, however, it is best to get it checked by your doctor as well just to rule out any infection.

There are several things you can do to help yourself - try Sea Buckthorn Oil Capsules as these help to regulate mucus production, and I would also suggest taking a probiotic supplement for a month or so to help get the balance back.
