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, it's really embarrassing. Is my condition likely to be leukoplakia of the vulva? Please ask: Which hospital is better for treating leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello,1. Intense Itching: After suffering from this disease, patients often experience unbearable itching in the vulvar area, as if it were piercing deeply. The itching is recurrent in episodes, especially severe at night, accompanied by burning and dry discomfort, severely disrupting deep sleep.
2. Cancer Transformation: Vulvar leukoplakia carries a risk of cancer transformation. The more severe the condition, the higher the likelihood of recurring vulvar cancer, which can be life-threatening.
3. Generational Inheritance: Some cases of vulvar leukoplakia are caused by generational inheritance.
4. Cracks and Urinary Difficulty: The vulvar skin and mucosa may turn white or intermingle with pale red, appearing rough and uneven, with cracks, ulcers, erosion, or hardening and loss of elasticity, which can lead to urinary difficulties.
