I found this news article today:
BBC NEWS Health 'I am fighting for my sex life'
This report discusses a condition called lichen sclerosis.
I saw the word sclerosis and immediately thought "autoimmune disease".
Lichen sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the genital skin. It is scarring and painful. A cause is not currently known at this time, but physicians are suspecting an overactive immune system.
