While the visible symptoms of lichen sclerosus have healed, many are confused as to why they continue
to experience bladder and bowel issues.

There are many issues with bowel and bladder dysfunction that occur at a higher rate in the LS population versus the general population.

Bladder Dysfunction can include overactive bladder (OAB) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The solution may not be as simple as “Just Do Kegels”.

Bowel Dysfunction can include constipation due to nervous system overdrive or mechanical fascia connection
due to scarring and chronic inflammation from tears or cuts in the skin. Anything that leaves scarring will
affect tissues around, above, and below it.
