Uterine prolapse and lichen sclerosis

Body: 

I would like to enquire if uterine prolapse and lichen sclerosis are linked,or does the uterine prolapse rubbing on the skin cause it. I am sure i have it though not been diagnosed as i have read docters dont really understand the condition,and the biopsy sounds very painful. Would be interested to know if anybody has has sucess with natural treatments like apple cider viniger. Do you just apply it to the vulval skin.

Actually Christine had the lichen sclerosis, as well as some of our other members. Just type it into the search box, lots of great information. Also, investing into the Vulva Vaginal health DVD is a great investment.

It is not linked to prolapse. Prolapse is a postural problem. If you are having soreness and chafing from your prolapse sticking out, you may want to try the other remedies that women often talk about on here: honey, barrier creams, coconut oil, olive oil, etc.

Christine does describe the lichen sclerosis very well, and it is a lot different than simple chafing.

My understanding of LS evolved beyond what I knew when I wrote the above thread. While feeding the estrogen beta receptors (which are diffuse throughout our brain, skin, bones and vulva) with good photoestrogens is important, creating the conditions where beneficial bacterial species (lactobacillus) normalize the epithelial cells of the vaginal walls and vulva is the foundation of natural treatment. This we do with daily doses of raw, local honey placed vaginally. I rarely use vinegar anymore, as honey is the substrate needed to attract friendly microorganisms, which do all the work of making the tissues healthy. Any itching suggests fungal species, which are easily eliminated with a spritz or two of 1/2 filtered water and 1/2 vinegar.
