Partners of those with Lichen Sclerosus need to be very patient and understanding since the disease often effects a couple’s sex life. Intercourse may be difficult for many, or impossible for some. However, a couple can find other ways to be intimate. The use of dilatory help to keep the vagina stretched out and help prevent fusing. Patients are encouraged to have sex as much as possible to keep things in working order. Some women find there is a lack of sexual feeling, particularly if the clitoral hood has fused over the clitoris.
