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 often feel 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: Is leukoplakia of the vulva treatable?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Vulvar leukoplakia may be related to systemic factors, such as diabetes and endocrine disorders. Local environmental factors of the vulva, such as moisture and heat, can lead to vulvar leukoplakia. Vulvar leukoplakia is usually treated symptomatically, with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. If there is significant inflammation, severe symptoms, or long-term non-healing with medication, 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!
