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 during work, it's really embarrassing. Is my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: Will vulvar leukoplakia recur after treatment?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 nutrient decomposition and 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 white vaginal hair, rough skin, scaling, swelling, and cracking, among other adverse conditions. It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a regular, professional hospital. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease, and during treatment, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients maintain vulvar cleanliness, change underwear frequently, and finally, wish female patients a speedy recovery!
