Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've found it quite dry, and I've also been constantly feeling itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please recommend where it's best to seek treatment for this?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is a common gynecological disease, referring to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area. It can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus, but rarely affects the urethral opening or anterior region. When this symptom reappears, it is essential to visit a regular hospital for a gynecological examination and avoid blindly self-medicating to prevent the condition from worsening.Vaginal leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genital hygiene, change underwear frequently, and finally wish female patients a speedy recovery!
