Question
If you think you’ve gotten an STI, I would recommend seeing a Sexual health doctor who is experienced in diagnosing and treating the different types of STI.
A detailed history and examination will be done. After that, we will recommend tests based on your exposure and in certain cases will provide treatment immediately based on what we think is the cause.
Thank you for posting a question. This is a complex question, which warrants proper questioning and examination by a qualified doctor. Any answer we give here will be difficult to answer your question with proper justice. Depending on your weight, 20mg of prednisolone is usually considered low dose and it is usually not expected to have these side effects especially when the course is so short as well. (perhaps you can consider to see a doctor to check if you have other medical problems) Most of your symptoms are non specific, and as such answers will probably be non specific as well.
With the menopause, the loss of estrogen will bring significant changes to the hormone-sensitive organs such as the breasts, genital organs, bladder and so on. Vaginal itch and burning sensations are attributes of vulvo-vaginal atrophy. This condition is characterized by thinning of the epithelium (less layers of cells at the most superficial skin) and loss of collagen, interstitium and blood supply at the dermis (the deeper layer of the skin). Vaginal atrophy can be extremely uncomfortable and it worsens as one ages.
