Patient's question:
Itching in the external genital area is unbearable, and the itching becomes even worse before going to sleep at night. It particularly affects rest and work. Is the harm of leukoplakia of the external genital area significant?Doctor's answer:
Since you have already learned that you suffer from leukoplakia of the vulva, you understand the symptom of vulvar itching, right? Does the itching you usually feel make it hard for you to sleep at night or make it difficult for you to train during the day? And sometimes it even causes pain, interfering with your marital relationship. Below, I will explain the dangers of leukoplakia of the vulva to you, hoping you can take it seriously. The main danger of leukoplakia of the vulva is that it interferes with your life. After suffering from leukoplakia of the vulva, the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva in women may become thin or swollen. The vulvar skin gradually loses elasticity, and in severe cases, the labia majora and minora may even swell or disappear, causing the vaginal opening to narrow, leading to the expansion of the urethral opening, resulting in difficulties in urination, incontinence, and even sexual dysfunction and lack of libido in patients, interfering with their normal life.
