Urinary Incontinence Among Female Patients with Lichen Sclerosus: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Listen to this summary

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) among female patients with lichen sclerosus (LS) and assess the associated risk. The findings indicate that women with LS have a significantly higher prevalence of UI, with a 68% increased risk compared to non-LS controls. The authors emphasize the importance of integrating urological assessments into the management of LS due to this association.
