Narrowing of the vaginal opening, or introitus, is one of the possible complications of lichen sclerosus. These changes in vulvar anatomy are manifestations that occur in advanced stages.
Some of the consequences it can cause include difficulties during sexual intercourse and an increased risk of urinary and vaginal infections.
What treatments are currently available?
Treatment for introital narrowing may involve the use of regenerative therapies, such as the application of stem cell injections from your own fat, which have shown positive results in managing this condition.
