Today, we’re talking about the changes that can happen to your vulva in perimenopause and lichen sclerosus, so you may want to listen somewhere away from sensitive ears. You’ll find out what to expect of a perimenopausal vulva, what’s normal, when to get help and what sort of help is available. We also talk about lichen Sclerosus, a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder that most often affects the genital and perianal areas.
