Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, it's really embarrassing. Is my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: What should vulvar leukoplakia patients pay attention to in terms of care?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is a disease caused by nutritional disorders of the vaginal skin and mucosa, leading to local tissue degeneration and loss of pigmentation. It is a condition where the skin and mucosa become white, rough, or swollen, and it may recur. It is recommended that patients maintain cleanliness, dryness, and avoid using soap or other irritating medications for washing. Additionally, they should refrain from consuming spicy and irritating foods, use corticosteroid creams, or undergo surgical treatment. Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
