Lichen sclerosus's pathogeny, the most frequent vulvar dystrophy predominant at the start of menopause, is still enigmatic. Its repercussions on the functional level can be disabling. Its clinical sides include atrophy and sclerosis. The evolution of the past towards great atrophies (kraurosis vulvae) may today be prevented by early diagnosis and treatment (essentially dermocorticoïde). Even if the risk of degenerescence is low, it's not negligible and these patients must be put under steady surveillance.
硬化性苔藓的病因仍然是个谜，它是最常见的外阴营养不良，在绝经初期最为常见。其在功能层面的影响可能会导致功能丧失。其临床症状包括萎缩和硬化。过去向严重萎缩（外阴干枯症）发展的情况如今可通过早期诊断和治疗（主要是使用皮质类固醇）来预防。即使退化风险较低，但也不可忽视，这些患者必须接受持续监测。
