Patient's question:
In the recent period, I have been experiencing itching in my private area, and it has also become somewhat white. Some are worried it might be leukoplakia of the vulva. Please ask: If one gets leukoplakia of the vulva, how should it be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is primarily caused by continuous scratching and irritation due to vaginal itching, leading to hyperkeratosis and loss of pigmentation. You can first consider using a topical medication method to try. A commonly used method involves mixing three medications—Vitamin E cream, testosterone propionate, and prednisone cream—and applying them to the affected area. If this method is ineffective, you may need to consider visiting many plastic surgery hospitals for treatment. The recurrence of vaginal leukoplakia poses a serious threat to women's health, and patients should pay attention to postmenstrual follow-up checks and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
