A member asked:
Can lichen sclerosus cause anal fissures?i have ls confirmed by biopsy on vulva & perineum with fissures but wondered if anal fissures are ls related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: I see a lot of people with anal fissures, but not one of them has had lichen sclerosis to my knowledge. The fissures are usually caused by constipation. Sometimes they improve spontaneously, sometimes they require a short operation.
