83. You Just Got Diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosus: Now What?

Welcome back! In this episode of The Pelvic Power Podcast, I respond to a message I received from someone in the community who had just been diagnosed with lichen sclerosus — this episode is what I would have done if I was just diagnosed with LS. This episode is a reminder that: things can get better… and there are many ways to support yourself along the way. Today we dive into: - small ways to support your vulva and pelvic floor when living with lichen sclerosus - looking beyond the vulvar skin - the connection between stress, the nervous system, and inflammation - pleasure, blood flow, and reconnecting with your body - pelvic floor tension and how it may be impacting your pain - emotional wellbeing, hope, and learning to support yourself more deeply - and why healing is about so much more than just the physical symptoms If you’ve recently been diagnosed — or you’re feeling lost on your journey right now — this episode is for you. Because you are so much more than just your diagnosis 🫶🏽 Conversations with Jaclyn from The Lost Labia Chronicles - Part 1 & Part 2 Conversations with Kathy from LSSN - Part 1 & Part 2 Come join us for Pelvic Floor Yoga ➡️ Classes for people living with pelvic tension, for them to manage and release their pain.
