Patient's question:
I recently feel a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color is a bit different, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. Could you please tell me which hospital is good 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 external genital area, as if it were piercing deep into the skin. The itching is episodic and recurrent, worsening at night, accompanied by a burning and dry sensation, 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 developing vulvar cancer again, which can be life-threatening.
3. Generational Inheritance: Some cases of vulvar leukoplakia are caused by generational inheritance.
4. Cracks and Urinary Difficulty: The skin and mucous membranes of the external genital area may turn white or a mix of pale red, appearing rough and uneven with cracks, ulcers, erosion, or hardening and loss of elasticity, which can lead to urinary difficulties.
