Patient's question:
Lately, 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 ask: How is the common leukoplakia of the vulva treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Vulvar leukoplakia refers to tissue degeneration and changes in pigmentation in the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva and surrounding areas due to nutritional deficiencies. The typical symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia include white patches on the vulvar skin, vulvar itching, and vulvar burning pain. Treatment involves oral Chinese medicine to regulate internal balance, support the body's vital energy, adjust endocrine disorders, and reduce immune function. The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia severely harms women's health, and patients need to pay attention to follow-up examinations after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is hoped that female patients can receive professional treatment.
