Is it okay for people with lichen sclerosis to have intercourse?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The problem is not infectious. However, it sometimes makes the vulvar skin susceptible to small lacerations.

Yes, but: Make sure the etiology is determined. Because there is also some increased incidence of cancer - get yourself checked periodically with routine annuals and pap smears.
