Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I've also always felt itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: How much does it generally cost to get checked for leukoplakia of the vulva, and how long does it take?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva, also known as vulvar dystrophy, may be caused by chronic injury, allergies, local endocrine and nutritional disorders, or metabolic disorders. Long-term local dampness of the vulva and irritation from vaginal secretions are associated with this condition. Unexplained itching, recurring itching, and even sepsis may also occur. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination of vaginal secretions and necessary local examinations. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Laser therapy or surgical excision may be necessary if needed. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease.
