Reproductive Health: Lichen Schlerosus

by

Lichen sclerosus condition in dormant phase:

Around 1997 my doctor diagnosed me with a skin condition called Lichen sclerosus.

Lichen sclerosus is a skin condition that causes itchy white patches on the genitals or other parts of the body. There’s no cure, but treatment can help relieve the symptoms.

And the reason for Lichen sclerosus is… unknown.


In active/regeneration phase:

Inflammation, skin breakdown with all that can involve.

In my case my symptoms became active about 18 years later.

Lichen sclerosus is a chronic condition, and chronic ailments flair when a stress trigger is in play.
Pre-pubescent girls and post-menopausal women are the main groups affected.
I cannot give any comment regarding pre-pubescent girls, or from the LGBT community. Colleagues may offer information.

However, it is not purely a female problem, but much is written from the female perspective.

Although treatment can help, skin affected by lichen sclerosus can sometimes become scarred and tight over time. This can cause discomfort when peeing, pooing, having sex or getting an erection. If it’s severe, you might need a small operation.

NHS

Important: Cancer: Lichen sclerosus increases your risk of getting cancer on your vulva or penis.

How skin symptoms present:

There are two layers of skin; epidermis and dermis; a skin related blocked emotional trauma is held at cellular level.

The two skin layers have separate root cause stories; the subtleties of Loss of Touch, Protection or Defilement.
The precise part of the body affected has more specific trigger information attached to it.
If you have this debilitating symptom, I do not suggest you try to think your answers to WHY.

Medical treatment to manage symptoms:

Strong steroid cream used under direction from Doctor/Consultant. But that becomes detrimental in long term use.

My situation.

I remember the time,1997 when I was diagnosed.
I had just gone through a traumatic personal challenge, and looking back, I can pinpoint the potential root cause start to this problem.
And the active/regeneration phase 18 years later, when I became aware of change, had a specific and relevant emotional challenge connection.

You may ask:

  • How do I find out “Why ME?”
  • “Will I be able to reduce these symptoms?”

Here’s what to do:

Keep a record of flare ups in a little booklet; date and note particular symptom. eg Skin breakdown, itch, pain.
Seeing a pattern of stress, and the stress situation eventually resolved, is the first step to easing this problem.
A doctor will ask you how long you’ve had the problem, what symptoms are. Have that information to hand.

Why do you have this health problem?

Now it gets interesting. I work with the innate knowledge you hold subconsciously; the Body, Mind Connection to your presenting symptom.

How do I help you?

That’s when I ask you a short series of questions which take you to the Root Cause, the Why you present this symptom.
With guidance and support you release the emotive stress trigger, so that healing can begin.
The strong symptoms will reduce and you can go about your life without fear of vile bursts of pain, panic around sex or feeling less than the person you want to be.

If you seek to improve and potentially clear your symptoms, message me now to book a Root Cause Analysis.

Polycystic Ovaries, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

by

The 3 symptoms, Ovarian Cysts, Polycystic Ovaries (PCO) Polycystic Ovary Syndrome PCOS, appear similar, but are not the same.
The information quoted comes from reliable online sources.

Quote: Many women have Ovarian Cysts at some point in their life. Most ovarian cysts present little or no discomfort and are harmless. The majority disappear without treatment within a few months.

Quote: The difference between Polycystic Ovaries and Ovarian Cysts is that polycystic ovaries result in substantial hormonal imbalance,  compared to ‘harmless’ ovarian cysts.
It is possible for women to have multiple ovarian cysts without suffering from PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome.
PCOS symptoms will usually present during teenage years.
Quote: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: In order for a woman to be diagnosed with PCOS, she needs to have at least two of the following three features:

  • Irregular or lack of periods
  • High levels of male hormones
  • Polycystic ovaries, i.e. where ovaries are enlarged and contain several fluid-filled sacs (follicles)

Th exact cause of PCOS is unknown, but it can be a hereditary trait and related to abnormal hormone levels, including high levels of insulin. Although PCOS has no known cure, the symptoms of PCOS can be treated. Medication prescribed to treat symptoms such as irregular periods, infertility, excessive hair growth.

Those with PCOS with whom I have spoken or given questionnaires, were told by medical practitioners or after medical tests, that they have this health symptom.
The following comments are PCOS related and come from young women I interviewed and/or worked with.

“I started my period when I was 14 and they were irregular from the start – I could go months without one”.

“I was advised to go onto the pill.  I wasn’t even sexually active at that time but my main issue was the irregular periods and so this fixed that as well as regulating my hormones.  I was also offered some diabetes drug to sort out the insulin issue but I declined”.

“I thought I was a freak and felt very embarrassed by it”.

“The only thing I’ve ever blamed PCOS for was the difficulty to conceive.”

PCO related

“I had been on the Pill for years. After coming off the Pill I conceived straight away. My diagnosis of PCO came when trying for our 2nd child.”

PCOS is more complex, more going on.
PCO can be explored more straightforwardly.

As a Lifestyle Prescriptions® Health Coach, I offer a client insight and release from e.g. chronic health complaint. I assist clients to find and clear the Root Cause of the symptom.
I look at each client symptom separately. Together we unravel the WHY: the reason why this has presented. The reason which often leave doctors unable to state.

Lifestyle Prescriptions and Root Cause
You will probably have asked your medical doctor on occasion,
“Why do I have got this going on again?”
The doctor may say that they cannot be specific. They offer medicine and treatments, referral and so on.
I suggest that you hold many answers to the WHY. The medical route can still be investigated and followed, but it is within your power for your health symptom to not return.
Release the root cause.

Here’s what is going on
Stress, Beliefs, Emotions, Lifestyle and Social aspects play their part in your health problem, but Stress plays the very large part.There is a pattern of behaviour at work.  For self-healing to be initiated naturally, effectively and efficiently, this is what needs to happen:

  • Find the root cause to the health symptom.
  • Use the innate knowledge the client holds, relating to Stress, Emotions, Beliefs etc to unravel that root cause.
  • Work with specific modalities to release what no longer serves.

I help clients to pinpoint why and how a chronic reproductive or intimate health symptom impacts life and work.
 
The process is the same for most physical health symptoms.
I will help you to investigate and potentially fix this problem so that you can be free from the symptom and empowered to live life more fully.

Please contact me for a free chat if you find this article useful.
This works for any physical symptom; please ask.

Has your sex life changed during Lockdown?

by Leave a Comment

So, I was in the garden planting up this morning and thoughts popped into my head. One thought led to this Post and I have some questions.

I am posting to highlight a subject which I suspect is quietly questioned by women, and thought about more often by men: Sex.

The main question to ponder is: During Lockdown if you are living with a long term partner, or a relatively new partner, has your sex life changed for the better or for the worse?

I do not offer answers this Post offers is an opportunity for consideration. Has your sex life improved or is there room for discussion with your partner?

Points for consideration during this time of Lockdown

  1. Are you having more or less sex?
  2. Different sex or more meaningful sex?
  3. Do you talk about your sex life with each other?
  4. Has an increased sex life brought you closer to your partner?
  5. Because it’s been so long since the sex subject was discussed or initiated, does your lack of a sex life cause you stress?
  6. Do you dread the silent hints from your partner when there is pressure for more sex?
  7. Has sex been initiated by both of you or is it a one way initiation; one partner just complies?
  8. Has lack of sex been something that does not cause any concern?
  9.  Perhaps your sex life is just fine thank you!
  10. Are you worried or embarrassed to discuss sex? See Why You Won’t Talk About Sexual Issues With Your Partner

For those working as normal during Lockdown maybe all is well. Nothing has changed, you’re not looking for change. Or perhaps this post may highlight where change could be made.

If you are

  • In a convenient relationship and sex plays no part
  • In the unfortunate situation where your relationship has ended and you are awaiting a solution and sex plays no part
  • Divorced, single and looking for a relationship.
    Then I address the sex topic within my Home Study Programme ‘It’s Time to Move On‘.

The points I have raised can offer thought, action or a just leave well alone response. The topic of sex is something we Brits are not known to discuss with ease.
No-one knows what goes on behind closed doors? But relationships are important.

Age is irrelevant and of course men and woman can have different biological needs and each will respond  to the questions accordingly. But both parties deserve to be heard. It’s a two way deal. There will however be difficulty if there are unwritten or unspoken rules within a relationship. 
In my opinion that can be unhealthy. 

Key Point

Never assume your partner knows or remotely understands your silence, whatever the subject. It may work in your benefit to talk more.

Lockdown can be a timely opportunity  to give this important part of your relationship some time, thought  and energy. Are you content about the intimate part of your relationship?  

Benefits

From a positive outlook sex in a relationship can be good for the soul. It can make you feel better, happier and more able to get through the day.
Have the conversation with your partner if you want change, whatever that is. Or, smile, enjoy the feeling of ease and added benefits you sense as a couple from Lockdown.

Relationships

Relationships need work, difficult topics can be addressed. Speak with your partner. Balance and equality are key.

Imbalance brings in the negative feelings of unfairness, “I can’t speak up, I’m frightened, I’ve waited too long to discuss it”.
It is never too long to initiate discussion if you place great value on your relationship and are aware that complacency is not useful long term.
Stress and anxiety can affect your sex life.

Thank you for reading.
