Hi, I am new to this forum and very glad I have found it!! I have had LS for about 5 years but was only diagonsed about a year ago.  I am 53 year old woman and not quite through the menopause yet....

I was prescribed Dermovate to treate my LS symptoms and it has been working very well but recently I began to wonder about long term living with LS and what I could do to help myself....hence joining this group.

I have a number of questions but will start with just one.....Orgasms...

Today I went to see my Gynicologist and she could see some fusing around the clit hood, only slight but it really scared me, Imagine life without being able to orgasm I said to her, how awful......she didnt really say anything but I want to ask you out there, has fusing around the clitoris affected anyones ability to orgasm and if it has, how do you cope with this?

I can currently achieve orgasms, mostly manually as these are much more satisfactory and cannot ever imagine life without them.

I am scared, I feel alone with this issue and generally alone with my LS, it terrifies my when I wonder 'where will it end...will it ever end'.

I will start some other discussions about Boron/borax and ACV uses as well. I look forward to hearing your thoughts....

    My experience is that the fusing even around the clitoris can be reversed.  I'm maintaining LS with borax rinses and baths.  I encourage you to read the discussion: "An experiment with borax."

    Hello there, it is really concerning when you see these changes in anatomy especially when they affect your life in such massive ways. I have heard fantastic things about Borax so agree with Hanny, you need to read the thread. I also have quite extensive fusing both of the vulva and clitoral hood. I have been using dilation and bicarbonate of soda as Borax is difficult to obtain in the uk. It has done little to unfuse the vulva area but there is real evidence that the hood is becoming free and exposing some of the clitoris. I was also fortunate that even with fusing I did not lose sensation with pressure and orgasm was atainable. Try not to get too stressed.

      Ah, thanks for your reassuring words, it makes me feel alot better!  As I am new I am a little unclear how you find a thread, is a thread an answer to someone elses question?  Do I type in a key word into the search box to find it?  I typed in Borax but nothing came up.  I got some powder from Ebay which was reccommended and I am in the UK but I dont really know how to use it, how much etc.  Any advice wold be greatly appreciated, many thanks .

      At the top of the screen you'll find "discussion forums"  Click on that and the rest should be self explanatory.

    I find sometimes that the itch is almost relieved once I reach orgasm, it's almost a relief... does anyone else find this ? Xx
