A member asked:

Bv or low estrogen? i am 36 & have high ph, also itching/tenderness midcycle. what is the best way to figure out if its low estrogen? my dr is confused

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have a test done: Your doctor can do a test to check for bv. If you are 36 and having normal periods its unlikely to be low estrogen especially in the middle of your cycle.
