Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I've also always felt itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: How can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated to heal quickly?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is a disease caused by nutritional disorders of the vaginal skin and mucosa, leading to local tissue degeneration and loss of pigmentation. It is a condition where the skin and mucosa become white, rough, or swollen, and it tends to recur. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness and dryness, stop using soap and other irritating medications for washing, avoid spicy and irritating foods, topical corticosteroid creams, or surgical treatment. Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
