Patient's question:
I am not married yet. Recently, I went for a physical examination and was told that I have leukoplakia of the vulva. Is this disease serious? Will it affect my future pregnancy? Please ask: Where is it good to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, may be caused by chronic injury, allergies, local endocrine and nutritional imbalances, or metabolic disorders. Long-term local moisture in the vulva and irritation from vaginal secretions are associated with this condition. Unexplained itching, recurrent itching, or severe itching can worsen the condition. It is recommended to visit a hospital for specific tests of vaginal secretions and necessary local examinations. Based on the test results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Laser therapy or surgical excision may be necessary if needed. Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological disease prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised to avoid sexual activity and maintain cleanliness during treatment. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
