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. I'm asking: How can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?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 the skin and organ tissues through microcirculation. At the same time, it leads to irregular growth of epithelial cells, resulting in white vulvar skin, sometimes with white pubic hair, rough skin, scaling, swelling, and cracking, among other adverse conditions. It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a regular and professional hospital. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During medication, 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. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
