For the past two years it seems as though I always have an UTI. I'm wondering if others with lichen sclerosis have noticed an increase? Are the two associated?

I do also think ChrissyC's idea of exposure makes a bit of sense, too.

I have had a few utis in the past but once I started using estradiol cream , I had none for 3 years until a few months ago. The urologist discovered lichen sclerosis and I have had 2 utis in the last few months . I, too, am fastidious with hygiene. I'm wondering if this is related. It's frustrating.

This is why some of us who've had episiotomies or non-consensual penetration may have LS.
Not saying having a cytoscopy is a bad thing, but it could partially solve the mystery.
I've found that any infection anywhere sets off my psoriasis. I've also had LS my whole life, but I've only had the diagnosis and heightened awareness of my vulva for a year, so I can't say for sure that infections set off an LS flare.

Has anyone tried dmannose for prevention or cure?

YES! After a run of UTIs this year and antibiotics failing to clear these, I discussed, with my doctor, using more estriol cream, probiotics and D-Mannose and began this protocol in December. Initially, I used Uralix only but now combine this with NU U D-Mannose powder, which is a little cheaper. That is two months being UTI free.
I was wondering if there was a connection with UTI and LS too!
