Patient's question:
I am not married yet. Recently, I went for a physical examination and was told that I have leukoplakia of the vulva. Is this disease serious? Will it affect my future pregnancy? Please ask: Can the hospital relieve leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is a localized or diffuse white patch that reappears on the skin of a woman's external genitalia. Vulvar leukoplakia must be treated long-term, with follow-up periods of 3 to 6 months being ideal. With persistent treatment, relatively satisfactory results can generally be achieved.Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that vulvar leukoplakia is often caused by insufficient function of the liver, spleen, and kidneys, as well as functional imbalances among these organs, disharmony of qi and blood, stagnation of meridians, endocrine disorders, and poor nourishment of the skin. Compared to Western medicine, Chinese herbal medicine has the advantages of broad-spectrum effects, fewer side effects, and is particularly suitable for long-term use.
Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay close attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently.
