Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've found it very dry, and I've also been constantly feeling itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: Is leukoplakia of the vulva treatable?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Vulvar leukoplakia may be related to systemic factors, such as diabetes or endocrine disorders. Local conditions of the vulva, such as moisture or heat, can lead to vulvar leukoplakia. Vulvar leukoplakia is usually treated symptomatically, with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. If inflammation is significant, symptoms are severe, and medication does not improve over a long period, surgical treatment should be considered. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vulvar hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
