Patient's question:
Itching in the external genital area is unbearable, and the itching becomes even worse before going to sleep at night. It particularly affects rest and work. How much does a re-examination for leukoplakia of the external genitalia cost?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is often discovered due to external genital itching, presenting with recurrent white patches in the vaginal area. The skin becomes thicker and harder than the surrounding skin, with a rough surface. When inflammation is severe, or the skin in the leukoplakia area develops rusting or cracking due to scratching, not only itching but also pain in the external genitalia may occur. Long-term local moisture in the external genitalia and irritation from vaginal secretions are associated with this condition. Unexplained itching, recurring itching, and blood poisoning can also be related. Therefore, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination of vaginal secretions and necessary local examinations. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
