Fat Grafting for Lichen Sclerosus and Sexual Health

Fat Grafting for Lichen Sclerosus and Sexual Health

Introduction For today’s video, I am joined by the wonderful Dr. Aurora Almadori. Dr. Almadori talks to us about the potential for fat grafting to improve skin texture and sexual pain. We discuss what steroids can and cannot do, sexual health and lichen sclerosus, the difference between stem cells, PRP, and fat grafting. Then we dive into current research that is investigating the potential for fat grafting to improve skin texture and sexual pain. We also discuss the question of if fat grafting can increase the side of our labia minora and if reconstructive surgery is recommended for folks with vulvar lichen sclerosus.

Platelet-Rich Plasma for Lichen Sclerosus: Experimental Treatment Series

Introduction Experimental treatments show promise in managing a condition but have yet to be thoroughly evaluated for efficacy, safety, and acceptability. Think of it like a non-approved treatment option; it may or may not work. In the context of lichen sclerosus, when discussing experimental treatment options, I mean interventions, medications, or procedures that have not yet shown to be fully effective as a treatment but show promise in helping with symptom management. Some of these experimental treatments include platelet-rich plasma for vulvar lichen sclerosus, laser, and phototherapy. I often get asked about platelet-rich plasma for lichen sclerosus. For example, folks ask, “Someone on a forum mentioned platelet-rich plasma; what is this?” or “Is platelet-rich plasma an effective treatment for lichen sclerosus?”. In today’s post, I will take a deep dive into platelet-rich plasma by addressing what it is, what the procedure involves, and what the science says for vulvar lichen…
