@sincerely.somebody: Replying to @Sincerely Hope | solo travel NEVER allow someone to make you feel embarrassed about your health issues and concerns. So many women spend forever trying to get a proper diagnosis because we are taught that our health issues are to be kept silent and we should be embarrassed to speak up about it. It would have taken me a much longer time to get my Lichen Sclerosus diagnosis if it wasn’t for the people that have spoken up and that can mean greater consequences from delaying treatment. Your disease is just as valid as any other chronic illness, even if it’s affecting down below! (And to the people, and the men in my comments trying to embarrass me and other women either grow up or get off my page) ( the information provided is for educational purposes only and does not substitute for professional medical advice.) #lichensclerosus #womenshealth #obgyn #women
I have lichen sclerosus, as well. Any time I see a new doc and they ask about my medical history, none of them ever know what it is. Thank you for talking about it

I have lichen planus and it’s absolutely awful! It’s pretty similar if not basically the same thing as that. I was told by another female dr that there’s nothing I can do and I just have to accept.

yep I also was fairly recently diagnosed with lichen sclerosis after years of symptoms that nothing was working to clear it up as my dr originally thought it was treatment resistant dermatitis

I was diagnosed with adenomyosis 2 years ago. I had never heard of it because no one talks about it! And when I told others I had it they didn’t know what it was either 😕

My daughter got diagnosed with lichen sclerosis at 17 months and only because my grandpa changed her diaper, saw it, recognized it because he had it too and came with me to her doctor.

💯 I have lichen sclerosis. When I initially went to my doctor, she told me it was an STD. When those tests cleared she finally sent me to a dermatologist who realized it was lichen sclerosis.
