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, which is really embarrassing. Is my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: What are the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Hello; The fundamental cause of recurrent vulvar leukoplakia is based on the deficiency of kidney qi and kidney essence. This decline can result from congenital insufficiency of kidney qi, excessive depletion of kidney qi after illness, excessive damage from emotions and sexual activity, or multiple miscarriages with insufficient recovery, or excessive blood loss leading to injury to the liver and kidney. Meanwhile, factors such as internal emotional injury, liver fire invading the spleen, and damp-heat descending contribute to the imbalance of zang-fu organ functions, dysfunction of qi, blood, yin, yang, and endocrine systems, which are extremely important triggers in the recurrence process. It is crucial for patients with vulvar leukoplakia to pay attention to their own care in addition to symptomatic treatment. For example, maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, female patients are advised to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
