87: Could it be lichen sclerosis?
Manage episode 516252075 series 3416383
Have you ever dealt with constant itching, burning, or irritation “down there” and just assumed it was another yeast infection or a normal part of menopause?
What if it’s something else entirely — something most women have never even heard of?
In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch sheds light on Lichen Sclerosis, a chronic inflammatory condition that often goes undiagnosed for years. She explains what it is, how it shows up, and why early diagnosis is so important to protect your comfort, confidence, and long-term health. You’ll learn how to tell it apart from other common conditions, what treatments actually work, and how to advocate for yourself when something doesn’t feel right.
You’ll also discover gentle, practical ways to care for your intimate health — helping you restore comfort, confidence, and that sense of feeling like yourself again.
