Genital psoriasis
Managing vulvar psoriasis means finding strategies to reduce the frequency and severity of your attacks, since genital psoriasis does not have a cure just yet.
Lichen sclerosus (LS)
Lichen sclerosus is an autoimmune skin condition of the vulva and anal area that can range from minor itching and skin thickening, to serious scarring and the fusing of the labia and clitoris.
Sjogren’s syndrome
Sjögren's syndrome is a condition whereby all the moisture-producing glands in the body dry up. This can cause some problems in the vagina, since moisture is an integral part of the function of the vagina.
Understanding and treating scleroderma
Scleroderma is a skin-hardening autoimmune condition that can affect the vagina and vulva, as well as the rest of the body. The condition can make using your vagina and vulva more challenging, including sex.
Understanding the vaginal fistula
A vaginal fistula is an abnormal opening between the vagina and another organ, often caused by childbirth, surgery, or diseases like Crohn's. Symptoms vary based on the affected tissue but may include incontinence, foul-smelling discharge, and painful sex. Diagnosis involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and possibly imaging tests.
