Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, it's really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? How much does it cost to check for vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to distinguish between vulvar vitiligo and leukoplakia of the vulva. If it is vitiligo, it is usually accompanied by depigmentation in other parts of the body. If the diagnosis is leukoplakia of the vulva, treatment is required. A biopsy is recommended. If there are abnormal moderate to severe dysplasia, or if ulcers and fissures do not improve with non-surgical treatment, surgery may be considered. For mild inflammation, laser treatment can be performed, or the condition can be closely monitored without immediate intervention. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During treatment, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery.
