Signs and Symptoms of Genital Lichen Sclerosus in Women Seeking Autologous Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The true incidence rate for Lichen Sclerosus is unknown, as this disease often goes undiagnosed [9]. However, rates between 1 in 30 and 1 in 1,000 have been reported [3,10,11]. Lichen Sclerous can affect men and women at any age. Hormonal changes may exacerbate the disease and therefore the onset of symptoms is noted more frequently at menarche or in post-menopausal woman [12-14]. Women are 6-10 times more frequently affected by Lichen Sclerosus then men [14-16].

The main aims of this cross-sectional study were: (i) to assess the frequency of genital (vulval) lichen planus (VLP) and vulval lichen sclerosus (VLS) in women affected with oral lichen planus (OLP), regardless of the genital symptoms reported; and (ii) to verify whether any demographic, clinical, or histological features of OLP are associated with a higher risk of vulvo-vaginal involvement. F...
