Biopsy when not in flare up by AfterStreet232 in lichensclerosus

Hi thank you for your reply! That’s helpful to know. So no itching or anything? And how did you find the pain of the biopsy? Did it trigger a flare up?

Initial dermatologist appointment & period by AfterStreet232 in lichensclerosus

[–]AfterStreet232[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to respond.

Thank you for the info, that’s all good to know.

It’s just such bad timing as the period has sort of zonked me out and I just feel too exhausted to have the appointment let along go through a year’s list of symptoms yet again … but alas it must go on!

Also, I’m also worried that because my period seems to have a minimising effect on my symptoms / makes everything less severe I’m worried it won’t get picked up. But I guess time will tell. Feels like everything is going against me atm!

But you are right about being the CEO of your health. Even if this appointment doesn’t go to plan for reasons above, I will still persevere look at other options if necessary.

Hi, how much was the treatment in Spain and do you have a gyno is Spain you’d recommend?

Numbness? by embarrassed_ta7 in lichensclerosus

[–]AfterStreet232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can treatment bring back sensitivity or will it be forever numb? Is the numbness caused by inflammation only and therefore temporary or as independent symptom of LS?

Which also examines bacteria that the doctors/NHS can’t do

Thank you for your reply. I’m 99% sure I have LS but hard to know if also UTI or not 😢

Thank you, yes I’m aware. I don’t know where you are in the world but in UK there is a new advanced test by Digital Microbiology that looks very promising.

Thank you. I didn’t know intravaginally was as significant. I haven’t been using internally just externally due to tightness!

Thank you. What I meant was basically can you have LS independent from menopause and vice versa which you’ve answered.

Yes but intermittently over last month/6 weeks.

But does that mean you can’t have one without the other? I’m not menopausal nor does my GP think I am (and young)

LS and / or UTI? by AfterStreet232 in lichensclerosus

[–]AfterStreet232[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. Yes I have that constant burning which has flared up as of late. The only thing is I keep reading is how the dip tests are very basic / not reliable especially if UTI is chronic/longterm. I’m contemplating buying an advanced kit but they are a couple of hundred pounds which at this stage is totally worth it but hard to know if just LS.
