Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and lately, I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, it's really embarrassing. Is my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: How should I treat vulvar leukoplakia after it appears?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus, but rarely affect the urethral opening or vestibule. The clinical characteristics of this condition include: severe itching of the external genitalia, sometimes accompanied by a burning or painful sensation. The affected skin becomes rough and thickens like psoriasis, with scratch marks. In some cases, it may recur as cracks or ulcers. This directly interferes with urination and sexual activity, and the level of suffering is difficult to describe. Traditional treatments for this condition include the following:Medication Treatment: After washing the external genitalia with a Ph4 weak acid-formulated female care liquid, hormone drugs are applied locally, along with local anesthetics, and anaerobic (Bacteroides) treatment, as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment.
