Functional Medicine Toronto | Fantastic Article on Lichen Sclerosus and PRP. (Modified O-SHOT®)
Feb 20
At VitalityMD, we have developed a special protocol treating lichen sclerosus with PRP.
Dr. Caplan has suspected that Lichen Sclerosus is an autoimmune mediated condition and a lack of hormones or a precipitating event ( like an infection or exposure) can trigger it. There is also a familial component (ie. family members can be affected).
Summary of the article below that supports Dr. Caplans theories
- LS is autoimmune mediated.
- Women tend to have at least one other autoimmune condition.
- 42% of women have autoimmune antibodies.
- Trauma and chronic irritation are causative factors.
- Low testosterone can precipitate it.
- Traditional treatment is clobetasol or tacrolimus…
- PRP done the right way can help heal, and regenerate the tissues
- Not all providers of the O-Shot® know how to treat LS. Come to the experts at VitalityMD!
Another Satisfied Customer - Lichen Sclerosis
Lichen Sclerosus can cause (especially in severe cases):
- Phimosis (scarring) of the clitoral hood to the clitoris with decreased sensation and anorgasmia (inability to orgasm)
- decreased blood flow to the area
- fissures (cuts in the skin)
- itching to the point of torment
- bleeding & pain with walking, or even wearing tight jeans or clothes
- pain, bleeding, & tearing with sex (called dyspareunia)
- because of the above, often women can’t tolerate any penetration even when aroused, (so sad)
- secondary loss of libido when sex becomes associated with pain,
- loss of the labia, narrowing of the vaginal opening and vaginal atrophy
- pain with urination, recurrent bladder infections
- secondarily cause depression and low self esteem
- 10% chance of squamous cell carcinoma
