What may be happening.
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory skin condition requiring medical diagnosis, surveillance, and treatment. Pain and tissue changes can also lead to protective pelvic-floor tension, scar restrictions, painful intimacy, urinary or bowel symptoms, and nerve sensitivity that rehabilitation may support.
This page is educational and cannot diagnose a condition. Symptoms that are new, severe, changing, or medically concerning should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.
Common signs and concerns
- Protective pelvic-floor tension or pelvic pain
- Pain with intimacy, insertion, or examinations

How care may help.
Treatment follows the assessment. It is adjusted to your symptoms, medical guidance, preferences, and pace rather than a generic exercise list.
- 01
Coordinate medical care
Keep skin treatment with a specialist while therapy addresses secondary function.
- 02
Reduce protective tension
Use gentle relaxation, breathing, mobility, and manual work only when appropriate.
- 03
Build a flare plan
Develop strategies for comfort, bowel/bladder habits, movement, and home care.
