Why Do Women Get Atrophy or Lichen SCLEROSuS?

Women develop atrophy for many reasons. The main cause is age (over 50) and menopause, but it can also occur from cancer treatments, childbirth / breastfeeding, or as a medication side-effect. Lichen sclerosis can occur spontaneously in women of all ages.

How Does Menopause Cause Atrophy?

As women age and go into menopause, the level of estrogen hormone in their body drops.  This lack of estrogen has many effects on the body. Without hormones stimulating the uterus, your periods stop.  Without hormones stimulating the ovaries, you don’t produce eggs and can’t get pregnant. The lack of estrogen affects the temperature control center in the brain and causes hot flashes and night sweats. It affects the mood centers in the brain and makes you more emotional. Sex drive can also drop. Lack of estrogen in the vaginal skin causes atrophy, and painful , dry sex.

What Are the Symptoms of Atrophy?

Painful sex, burning, and sometimes itching or slight bleeding from tearing. Atrophy also affects the urethra (the tube that empties your bladder) causing urinary urgency. Atrophy can also change the ph in the skin, leading to frequent vaginal infections with yeast or bacterial vaginosis.
