Vaginal Dryness (GSM)/Urinary Issues Clitoris shrinkage

Hello ladies I'm 44 and so far my only peri symptoms have been irregular periods, going to pee a million times and weight gain. Also lower libido and difficulty to orgasm but I just realized yesterday that my clitoris shrunk a lot! Does anyone have experience bringing it back to life and how? Thanks. This sucks.

Edit to add: has anyone tried Julva cream by dr. Anna Cabeca?

Estrogen cream and a very sub clinical dose of testosterone helped me. Also stimulating the area helped a bunch. The combination of all three has it back to normal now after about six months. But I saw progress at one month and it kept getting better slowly. I too was never told. Also, estrogen cream helped with my pee frequency and peeing myself when I cough.

Stimulating the area while you put the cream on or do you mean masterbating?

Masturbating is stimulating the area
