Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy down there, and it seems the color has changed too—it's a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. Could you please tell me: What causes leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to various types of vaginal nutritional deficiencies, which can be tested with laser therapy. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness during daily life. Avoid washing the external genitalia with soap or irritating medications. Do not consume spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose and comfortable, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is important to wear soft cotton products. The recurrence of vaginal leukoplakia severely affects women's health. Patients need to pay attention to follow-up examinations after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
