In this study we determine systemic comorbidities associated with lichensclerosus in men.
2
Bullous lichensclerosus is a rare variant that can occur in both genital and extragenital LS.
3
Men with lichensclerosus were more likely to have hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes, and to use tobacco products.
4
A 2-hit mechanism implicating local and systemic factors for lichensclerosus related urethral stricture disease development and progression is hypothesized.
5
Results: Of the 1,151 men in the database 81 (7.0%) were noted to have lichensclerosus related urethral stricture disease.
