Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my private area, and it even got scratched open, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said it's vulvar leukoplakia. I'm really troubled. Could you please tell me where would be a good place to treat vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is caused by inflammatory stimulation, leading to local nerve and vascular damage. In very few cases, it may result in trichomoniasis, candidiasis, cervical erosion, and other inflammatory conditions, causing increased vaginal discharge and changes in leukorrhea. Long-term irritation of the vulva can lead to the development of vulvar leukoplakia.It is best to choose a reputable public hospital for testing laser therapy. Maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to clean the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. Wear loose-fitting clothing, change your clothes frequently, and pay attention to wearing soft cotton products.
