Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy down there, and it seems the color has changed too, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. Could you please ask: What is the approximate cost of treating leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, medically, vulvar leukoplakia is known as "vulvar dystrophy." The causes are related to the dysfunction of microcirculation under the vulvar mucosa and disorders in nutritional decomposition metabolism, which prevent nutrients from effectively reaching other skin organs and tissues to function. At the same time, it leads to irregular growth of epithelial cells, resulting in white vulvar skin, some of which may experience recurrence of white pubic hair, rough skin, scaling, swelling, and cracking, among other adverse conditions. It is recommended to seek specific examination and treatment at a regular and professional hospital. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease, and during treatment, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to vulvar hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
