Vulval Linchen Sclerosis – Catch the diagnosis early!!

 

Expert Care at Yuvani Aesthetic Clinic, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai

Vulval Lichen Sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects the external genital and anal areas, particularly in women. Unfortunately, due to the non-visibility of the vulval region, it is often neglected or misdiagnosed for a long time. At Yuvani Aesthetic Clinic in Kharghar, we emphasise the importance of early diagnosis and effective treatment to prevent long-term complications.

Why Is Vulval Lichen Sclerosis Often Missed?

Many women experience persistent itching in and around the vaginal opening, labial region, and even near the anal area, but dismiss it as a temporary issue. In the early stages, the only symptom may be itching, which does not always respond to common treatments. This leads to delayed medical attention, and some women discontinue care when initial medications fail.

In certain patients, Vulval Lichen Sclerosis is later diagnosed as an autoimmune condition, where the body’s own immune system damages healthy cells in the affected region. This progression can lead to skin thinning, dryness, and discoloration, often appearing in a figure-of-eight pattern involving the labia and anus.

Recognising the Early Signs

Look out for the following early symptoms of Vulval Lichen Sclerosis:

• Persistent vulval itching that doesn’t respond to treatment
  
• Thinning and dryness of the labial skin
  
• Pale or white patches on the vulva or around the anus
  
• Discolouration in a figure-of-eight pattern
  
• Discomfort during urination or intercourse
  

Early detection is key to controlling the disease and avoiding complications like scarring, narrowing of the vaginal opening, and even involvement of the urethral opening, which can cause urinary issues.

Advanced Treatment with CO2 Laser at Yuvani Aesthetic Clinic

At Yuvani Aesthetic Clinic in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, we offer CO2 laser therapy, the most advanced and recommended treatment for Vulval Lichen Sclerosis. This non-invasive method has shown promising results in controlling the spread and relieving symptoms.

✅ CO2 Laser Treatment Plan:

• 3–4 sessions
  
• One session every 4 weeks
  
• Repeated annually for maintenance
  
• Application on the labial surface and around the anal opening
  

This treatment stimulates collagen production, reduces inflammation, and helps preserve tissue integrity, significantly improving patient comfort and quality of life.
