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 familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me which hospital is best for treating leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is a localized or diffuse white patch that reappears on the skin of the female genital area. 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. Herbal medicine is recommended over Western medicine because it has the advantages of broad efficacy, fewer side effects, and is suitable for long-term oral use.
The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia severely affects women's health, and patients should pay attention to maintaining genital cleanliness in daily life and avoiding sexual activity. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive professional treatment.
