Lichen sclerosis - biopsy
Posted , 7 users are following.
Got the result of my biopsy today and I def have lichen schlorosis . Also got results of blood tests and my thyroid result came back normal however my iron is below normal. Find this unusual because I don't hav the usual symptoms of fatigue etc. has anyone else suffered from low iron after diagnosis and if so what was your treatment.

I was diagnosed about 31 years ago with LS
bout 1 and 1/2 years ago my dr said I had low iron .....eat more meat
Last January I had my thyroid removed . I don't know what the answers
are.
The itch is basically no more but neither are my lady parts.

Not so great to have LS. However, you have found a good group at Patient UK. Many people here are most willing to give you support. There is lots of sharing and good info. I encourage you to browse through the various topics.
I have also a thyroid condition with my LS. I've had low iron, but not any more now. I go for B12 shots once a month.
Hope this helps.

i also suffer with low iron but have done since I was a child now 70 so try to tell doctor I don't need anything he has given up trying to give me different pills. Have to take thyroid tablets for past year but after suffering the dreaded itch for 12 years was diagnosed with LS beginning of the year. Yesterday had to see gyni for check up and she was really pleased with everything said all looked good don't have to go back for another 6 months.

You can buy iron tablets - but they will constipate you after taking them for a while Ask your practice nurse for advice - she will have access to your notes and will see what the medics have said about the condition Good luck
