What are the causes of vulvar lichen sclerosus

Patient's question:

Vaginal itching, congestion

Doctor's answer:

The causes include: genetic diseases, autoimmune diseases, lack of sex hormones, infectious factors, and neurovascular nutritional imbalance. Neurovascular nutritional imbalance in the deep connective tissue of the vulva leads to lesions in the overlying skin. Some people transplanted vulvar diseased skin with normal skin from the patient's thigh. The diseased skin transplanted to the thigh gradually returned to normal, while the normal skin transplanted to the vulva developed lichen sclerosus. Therefore, it is proposed that local neurovascular nutritional imbalance is the cause of this condition.
