Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color is a bit different, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. Please ask: What are the dangers of leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is more common in women. This condition can recur at any age: cases have been reported in childhood, adolescence, menopause, and old age, but it is most prevalent in women around the age of 50. The duration of vulvar leukoplakia varies, with some cases lasting for decades. Maintain vulvar cleanliness, avoid irritation and friction, and refrain from scratching. Wear absorbent, breathable, loose, soft, and 100% cotton underwear. Always maintain a positive mood and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia severely threatens women's health. During treatment, patients should avoid sexual activity and pay attention to personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive proper treatment.
