Menopause is a phrase in life all women will have to go through. However, not all will get the symptoms. So there is no need to worry.
Even if you should get the symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy can alleviate the problem. Also available is estrogen vaginal cream to ease the problem with dryness and sometimes infection.
I should like to point out there are a look of bad publicity on the use of hormone. Not every patient is suitable. The newer estrogen combinations that include different proportion of estrogen hormones has less side effects. Your doctor and pharmacist will be able to give you more information.

it is possible she is in menopause it can come well it can be a schock but dont worry its natural
It sounds like menopause, however I don't recall being constantly itchy. It's not the same for everybody tho. Some have an easy time of it, some have a bad time of it. I'm sort of in between--moderate. I would have a doctor check out the itchiness, tho, just to be sure there's
no other problem. She should try having lukewarm showers every day, and see if that helps. That's what I do, and it helps me.
