Treatment of clitoral phimosis with Lichen Sclerosus

If you’re dealing with clitoral phimosis associated with vulvar Lichen Sclerosusit is crucial that you take specific steps to take care of yourself and know the options available to you.

But let’s start at the beginning…

What is clitoral phimosis?

Clitoral hood is a condition in which the clitoral hood (skin that covers the clitoris) cannot be fully retracted, which may make it difficult or impossible to expose the clitoral glans.

What are the consequences of this?

Clitoral phimosis can cause discomfort, irritation and inflammation in the clitoral area, make sexual intercourse difficult, as well as prevent proper intimate hygiene.

What can I do if I suffer from clitoral phimosis?

1. Use strong creams or ointments, such as clobetasol steroid ointment, which will help stop the inflammation.
   Remember that this must be supervised by a medical specialist.
2. Liquenia TreatmentRegenerative therapies by injecting stem cells derived from the patient’s own fat can be beneficial for tissue repair and decrease inflammation.
   This treatment is an innovative protocol created by Dr. Patricia Gutiérrez Ontalvilla and scientifically proven.
   
3. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to release the synechiae or adhesions in varying degrees of involvement.
   During this process the doctor will release the clitoral hood to reverse the effects of phimosis.
   This surgery may also involve the use of a skin or mucosal graft to the clitoral hood in cases of acute phimosis.

One tip we recommend is to use cool, wet cloths on the area.
This can help reduce discomfort.
Also, wearing loose-fitting clothing and avoiding fabrics that hold moisture close to the skin can improve your daily comfort.

Remember that medical follow-up is key to your safety and treatment.
Be sure to keep all medical appointments and report any problems or irritation you experience.
