Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've found it very dry, and I've also been constantly feeling itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please ask: what methods are effective for treating leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, may be caused by chronic injury, allergies, local nutritional and endocrine disorders, or metabolic disorders. Long-term local dampness in the vulva and the influence of vaginal discharge are associated with this condition. Unexplained itching, recurring itching, and blood poisoning may also be involved. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination of vaginal discharge and necessary local examinations. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Laser treatment or surgical removal may be necessary if needed. The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia severely affects women's health, and patients should pay attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness and avoiding sexual activity in daily life. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
