Does everyone else have to see the GYN once a year for a follow up?

@ronjon27 You've been a member of Mayo Clinic Connect since 2017 but this is your 2nd post. I'd like to welcome you back to Connect.

You asked if others see their GYN one a year for follow up. I'm assuming that you are diagnosed with lichen sclerosis, you see your provider once a year, and you are wondering if this is typical. Did I get that right?

Yes, I go every year. There is always the risk of cancer of the vulva. Gynecologist needs to see if skin is getting worse, improving or same as year before.
