"I feel so alone" ~ Living with Penile Lichen Sclerosus

6/8/2023

17 Comments

 
Picture
I'm a guy of 41 years old and I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosus about 3 years ago.
It took a long time for the actual diagnosis because I was told it was because I wasn't washing and that it may be an STI. At the time I was in a long term relationship. It caused arguments over cheating but obviously that didn't happen.
The dermatologist was a woman to my relief as I did ask for a female because I don't do well with other males.
There was no sense of dignity at the first appointment. I was told to strip from the waist down, there where 4 women in the room.
After the dermatologist checked my penis she asked for pictures.
One of the nurses started to take pictures of my penis with the foreskin pulled back. They didn't explain why and I started to get upset and started crying.
They stopped and asked if I was OK. I explained why I got upset and I had to sign a form of consent for the pictures to be taken.
I was given an appointment for a biopsy, I asked for it to be female only because of what I previously explained. They were more than happy to oblige. (I was sexually abused and raped by both males and females from the age of 4. I'm scared of males because it was only them that hurt me)
On the day of the biopsy the 2 female staff were really nice and understood why I was so scared. They both explained what was happening every step of the way
My penis was made numb by injection, they checked it was numb then took a biopsy from the corona and put stitches in.
They were both very professional and my dignity was taken into consideration.
After a week the stitches were removed and again my dignity was considered as there was a young female trainee there, she was asked to leave while the stitches were removed.
At the appointment I was told it was LS and it was explained to me in detail which I was grateful of since the last appointment there was so upsetting.
Over the past year my LS has gotten worse. I suffer from erectile dysfunction due to my mental health and testicular pain caused by nerve damage from an operation to remove a varicocele at the age of 19. Getting an erection is painful not just in my testicles but now in my penis because the foreskin has fused to the corona to the point you can't see the corona or ridge etc.
If I try to have sex I just bleed as it splits.
Due to my sexual problems, my mental health and a recent diagnosis of autism (no learning disabilities) my partner of 17 years split with me and had been cheating on me due to my problems. It hit hard and I ended up in a mental health hospital due to being on the wrong side of a bridge. Thankfully I'm still here and I now only live for the sake of my 2 children because they are all I have left in life.
Lately my LS is getting a lot worse and it hurts to have a wee. I have difficulty anyway and have to sit down because it takes about 15 mins for me to start to wee because of some of my medication.
The foreskin slits a lot from the glands penis and bleeds heavily. Its very embarrassing when I'm at work and have to ask the female supervisor for a sanitary towel. (She knows my problems but it's still embarrassing). The glands penis is very painful and frequently I get a lot of white spots because of the LS.
I've been waiting for nearly a year for a new appointment with no sign of it coming anytime soon.
Last time the dermatologist said I may need a circumcision and a full glands resurfacing. It's not really what I want but only if I have no other choice. I'm scared to death of an operation due to the last operation I had on my genitals, it went badly wrong and caused the nerve pain which never goes away and sometimes when so bad it feels like I've been kicked in the balls and I can't walk or anything.
I'm also scared because there is a family history of penile cancer. My grandad had penile cancer and had to have his whole penis removed then it spread and his testicles, prostate and bladder which were removed. Sadly it still spread and it took his life. Due to the Lichen sclerosus, the family history of penile cancer and the fact this has caused the break up of my 17 year relationship, I'm living a nightmare where I just can't wake up from and I'm scared to death.
One last thing, I know absolutely nobody male or female who has LS. I've no support, nobody who I can speak to and have understanding. I feel so alone in it all.

To anyone reading (male or female), my strong advice is: do NOT get a conventional biopsy, especially by scalpel. Top UK specialists (on LS in males, certainly) seem to recommend specifically against it, with very good reason. I am still suffering with pain and debility six years on from my biopsy. I am fairly sure my cancer risk is increased too, because of the very obvious increased burden of inflammation. If some middle-tier consultant urges a biopsy, please please seek a second opinion, from a TOP specialist. Pay for it if you have to, if you can. If you require a biopsy to discount SCC, ask about confocal microscopy (look it up). This is available privately, and in some NHS hospitals; it is non-invasive. I really hope this comment is not deleted; it might save some people a lifetime of added misery, and subsequent further surgery. My own biopsy was not even definitive, no more than visual inspection (which should always be carried out with a hand lens). Diagnostically, histological examination of the tissue was a complete waste of time, and its excision for biopsy has caused me truly horrendous problems. If biopsy is really deemed necesssary, insist on confocal microscopy, at least as a first step. I'm not a medical doctor and would never advise anyone to put off diagnosis, but my own experience following a life-changing biopsy continues to be absolutely awful. I repeat, diagnosis (both of LS and SCC) is possible without conventional biopsy.

I have been suffering from (HERPES) disease for the last four years and had constant pain, especially in my knees. During the first year, I had faith in God that I would be healed someday. This disease started to spread all over my body and I was been taking treatment from my family doctor. Few weeks ago, I was searching on the Internet if I could get any information concerning a better treatment to this disease. On my search, I saw a testimony of someone who has been healed of HPV (Genital Warts) by this Dr.Water and she also gave the email address of this man and advise we should contact him for any sickness, that he would be of help. So I wrote to DR.WATER telling him about my HERPES outbreaks. He told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! hmm i never believed it. Well i followed through with the procedures and got his remedy few days later. I started experiencing changes all over me as the Doctor had promised and assured me. After some time i went to my family doctor to confirmed if I have been truly healed. Behold it was true, i was healed and no traces of the virus in my body anymore. So friends i am here to also share my story and authenticate the name DR.WATER as a genuine and confirmed healer of herpes and even other diseases like HIV, Diabetes, warts, cancer, hepatitis and others.

Never give up in life. They all say no cure to HSV 2 (genital herpes) which is a big lie. I have seen many people ignorantly say this and so i never believed there was really a cure to HERPES until I met Dr.Water, the doctor that have been helping many people for many years. I come across this doctor on facebook when I was searching for possible cures online. I found out about this man, and to my greatest surprise this man has the solution to my problem and even many other health problems people are going through out there, which some of us have been looking for, for many years. I explained my history of herpes problem to him through his email that I found on facebook. Dr.Water replied me and explain how the process works, so after i opted to give it a try. I placed an order for his herbal product. I got it delivered to me within 7 days and I took it according to the Doctor's instruction. I was so happy after few days of taking the medicine, there was very big change in my health and my blisters were all healing very fast. When I was done with the process, I went for a medical check up and I found out that i was now negative. That day i had tears of joy. And i took it upon myself to spread this good news anyway i can and share his contact details

I battled Herpes since 2015, feeling stuck in a cycle of antiviral medications offering only temporary relief.

After following his natural treatment plan, I’ve been free from the virus for over a year! Dr. Utu’s remedy truly worked wonders for me. If you’re tired of managing symptoms and seeking real healing, I highly recommend contacting him at [email protected]. Mention that Benjy referred you.

I want to use this opportunity to testify of the marvelous work of Dr. Odunga and how he has helped me in curing my sickness and bringing happiness into my life. I can really vouch for Dr. Odunga in herbal treatment. I was suffering from Cervical Cancer and infected with HPV 16. I used to have unusual vaginal bleeding and painful urination. There was nothing I could do until a childhood friend introduced me to Dr. Odunga Remedies. I spoke with him and ordered his recommended medication which was delivered to me through DHL. Immediately I began using herbal medicine, and within a week I couldn't feel any pain. It took me 2 weeks to finish the medicine and afterwards I was completely cured. I highly recommend that you order your herbal medication through Chief Dr. Odunga. Contact his email [email protected] OR What'sApp/Call him at +2348167159012

He is 100% reliable to help you too.

My life was nearly unbearable due to a herpes virus infection. I experienced frequent and painful outbreaks on my penis, which were incredibly difficult to manage. The blisters and sores would often appear whenever I was feeling ill, making an already tough situation even worse. I became extremely frustrated and exhausted from the cycle of pain and discomfort. I tried various medications, including Valtrex and acyclovir, hoping they would alleviate my symptoms and possibly lead to a cure. However, my doctor informed me that there was no permanent cure for the virus, which left me feeling hopeless and desperate for a solution.
I couldn't help but believe that there had to be a remedy out there. I was particularly intrigued by natural remedies, as I am a big supporter of Dr. Sebi and his holistic approach to health. It was during this search for answers that someone recommended Dr. Utu’s Herbal Cure. This person had previously used the treatment and promised me that I would be completely cured within four weeks. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out and order Dr. Utu’s herbal cure.
To my amazement, after completing the treatment, I found that I was completely cured of the virus. This was a life-changing experience for me. I felt like I had regained control over my life and my health. I can confidently say that I no longer suffer from the painful outbreaks that once dominated my existence. You deserve to live a life free from the burden of this virus, If you're struggling with herpes, don't let anyone mislead you anyone can contact Dr. Utu at [email protected]
