Integrative Medicine
Treating autoimmune diseases, intestinal and digestive conditions, and psychological conditions are fundamental.
Autoimmune diseases
Almost always autoimmune diseases are found concurrently with the presence of lichen sclerosus. These pathological conditions must be treated effectively, diseases stabilized, and any alteration in well-being addressed. For example, a malfunctioning thyroid, active rheumatoid arthritis, or uncontrolled diabetes will worsen the genital condition.
The intestine and digestion
An irregular intestine, whether prone to constipation or diarrhea, often worsens, leading to inflammation of the lichen. Gastroesophageal reflux is also a condition frequently encountered. It’s important to understand the best diet, even in cases where the intestine seems to be fine.
Hormones
For any organism, hormonal balance is important, and supplementing hormones, if deficient or imbalanced, is important in treating lichen sclerosus. Before starting any treatment, hormonal profiles should therefore be evaluated.
Pelvic floor rehabilitation
It’s very important. It’s a crucial point in the treatment at Lichen Hub.
It’s useful for treating local tissues, pelvic floor muscles, and physical well-being. Highly experienced professionals will teach you and provide you with tools for exercising at home.
The psychological aspect
Having lichen isn’t easy to manage in daily life. Burning, itching, and pain can make life challenging. Sometimes, relationships with both partners and family can become strained. Psychological support can be important in restoring personal balance, with one’s partner and family.
Learning to manage sudden symptoms is possible through hypnosis and relaxation techniques.
