Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy down there, and I even scratched it, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm really struggling with this. Could you please tell me: How can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Medicine believes that the fundamental reason for the recurrence of leukoplakia of the vulva lies in the deficiency of kidney qi and kidney essence. This deficiency can result from either congenital insufficiency of kidney qi, significant depletion of kidney qi after illness, excessive damage from emotions and sexual activities, or frequent miscarriages with insufficient recovery. It can also be caused by excessive blood loss leading to injury to both the liver and kidneys, among many other reasons. Meanwhile, factors such as internal emotional injuries, liver fire attacking the spleen, damp-heat descending, and other aspects leading to an imbalance in organ function, as well as disruptions in qi, blood, yin, yang, and endocrine systems, are extremely important triggering factors in the onset of the disease. It is essential to recognize that leukoplakia of the vulva is a gynecological condition prone to recurrence. During medication, women must pay attention to their self-care.
