Summary

This research is about a genital disease known as Lichem Sclerosus and Atrophic. It mainly affects women over 18 years of age.

Before and after treatment, they will see if women feel pain, itching, burning, scratching or difficulty having sexual intercourse.

Detailed description

There is evidence that injectable triamcinolone has an effect on reducing the symptoms of lichen sclerosus and atrophic. After randomizing the vulva, the vulva will be anesthetized with lidocaine infiltrations. After 15 minutes, interventions will begin. Triamcinolone will be injected using two different techniques: syringes \& needles in one side and with tattoo machine (MMP technique) in other side. The outcomes will be evaluated according to the criteria of pain, itching, burning, itching and difficulty in sexual penetration
