Question about LS
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi all, its me again. I was wondering if LS only affects the outside? I am having tears at the 6 o clock area, itching on the outside and it extends to my anal area, dryness, but i’m also having extreme burning coming from within my vagina. I used a Q tip to feel around in the vestibule area and it was the worst pain i ever felt. Only thing i could see is slight redness in some areas. that’s it. so i’m confused why it was so painful. Can LS cause burning within the vagina? thank you

Hi nicole, I'm also one of those with a super sensitivity to foods which immediately affect my vagina. Yes, I know it sounds crazy but its true. If I eat half a bar of chocolate within the next couple of hours I will start to feel a very clear twitching/itching down below. There are other foods as well. If I drink more than one glass of wine, the same thing happens. If I eat junk, like a soda, the same thing happens. I will admit to being super senstiive but I believe most of us are but at different levels. This horrible disease changes the way you think about food. Any doctors will tell you that this is rubbish, but they know nada.
The key is to figure out what your triggers might be. I think everyone should try to cut back on dairy and sugar, but sometimes gluten has to be looked at too.
If you google Vulvodynia and oxalate foods you will see that there is a correlation between the two, and so it is not too much of a stretch to believe that women with Lichen Sclerous will react to certain foods via their vaginas.
The burning pain that you describe inside the Vagina is something I have not experienced because the list of symptoms for LS is long and depressing. I have had the tears you describe and everything else really, and I know that when that happens it means I am flaring, or even having a mini flare. If you are experiencing itching/cuts/soreness/pain inside your Vjay then you are flaring and need to take action immediately. As I said its about what you are eating or drinking.
If you were locked in a cell for a week and given water and gruel your LS would clear up, I am certain of it. Obviously, that's not gonna happen and so you need to take a long hard look at what you are drinking and eating.

The inside of mine burns only during intercourse. My dr told me LS does not affect the inside of the vagina and the burning could be premenopausal symptoms. I’m not sure I believe this. I have it all along my anal too and am very red. I even have a red stripe going up my tail bone. Not sure if this is related. Hopefully one day they’ll figure it out and find the real cause.

The indide of my labiel lips becomes red and swollen also after sex.
I wash immediately with derma and my solution afterwards .
Also I put my barrier and steroid cream on. Sadly that is how I havd managed . Altjough truth be known I would gladly give up sex as my labido has gone . I was given testosterone gel but it did not work at all sadly. How about you ?
