- Abstract:
- Objective To summarize the clinical data with genital lichen sclerosus (GLS) and explore the significance of maximum urinary flow rate in its diagnosis and management. Methods This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 41 boys diagnosed with GLS and treated surgically at the Department of Urology,Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital between April 2020 and June 2021.Patients were grouped by urinary difficulty (urinary difficulty group,n=16; no urinary difficulty group,n=25),preoperative corticosteroid use (preoperative corticosteroid group,n=11; no preoperative corticosteroid group,n=30),postoperative corticosteroid use (postoperative corticosteroid group,n=6; no postoperative corticosteroid group,n=35),and urethral meatus involvement (involvement group,n=4; no involvement group,n=37).Preoperative and postoperative maximum urinary flow rates were recorded and compared among groups. Results A total of 41 cases met pathological diagnostic criteria.Maximum urinary flow rate significantly improved from preoperative (10.88±4.26) mL/s to 1 month (14.44±4.02) mL/s,3 months (16.84±2.69) mL/s,6 months (18.28±3.76) mL/s,and 12 months (17.60±2.57) mL/s postoperatively (P<0.05).Preoperatively,21 patients had abnormal maximum urinary flow rate,which decreased to 6 cases at 1 month postoperatively and resolved completely at 3,6,and 12 months.The preoperative corticosteroid group showed no significant difference in normalized maximum urinary flow rates at 1 month postoperatively compared to the non-corticosteroid group.The postoperative corticosteroid group had significantly fewer cases of normalized maximum urinary flow rates at 1 month compared to the non-corticosteroid group .Similarly,the urethral meatus involvement group showed fewer normalized maximum urinary flow rate cases at 1 month postoperatively compared to the non-involvement group . Conclusions Surgical treatment improves postoperative maximum urine flow rate in boys with GLS.Preoperative use of corticosteroid ointments may not improve postoperative maximum urinary flow rate but can serve as an adjunct therapy for patients with abnormal maximum urinary flow rates.Maximum urinary flow rate can be considered an important reference indicator for assessing voiding function in children with GLS.
