The Age-Related Incidence of Male Genital Lichen Sclerosus is Triphasic
These findings confirm that MGLSc is biphasic in its adult incidence, confirming an earlier supposition; including the previously well-acknowledged paediatric peak, it is thus triphasic. The smoking data are probably unremarkable compared with the available data for smoking habits from the United Kingdom. These findings indirectly support what is postulated about the likely pathogenesis of MGLSc, that is, urinary micro-incontinence, occlusion and epithelial susceptibility.
