Patient's question:
I am a 58-year-old woman who has been feeling some discomfort in my body, but I don't know what's wrong. Please ask: How can vulvar leukoplakia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, may be caused by chronic injury, allergies, local nutritional and endocrine disorders, or metabolic disorders. Long-term local dampness of the vulva and irritation from vaginal secretions are associated with this condition. Unexplained itching, recurring itching, or (sepsis) can also occur. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination of vaginal secretions and necessary local examinations. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Laser therapy or surgical excision may be necessary if needed.
