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've also been constantly feeling itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please ask: How can the symptoms of leukoplakia of the vulva be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as leukoplakia of the vulva, vulvar dystrophy, or vulvar nutritional disorder, accounts for approximately 5-10 ‰ of women. This condition is not contagious but can be inherited across generations (with a high inheritance rate). Common clinical diagnoses include pure white frost, grayish-white, pinkish-white, or black spots. The affected area can cover the entire vulva, perineum, and perianal region. Regarding your condition, without specific details visible online, it is difficult to speculate. It is recommended to follow medical advice for resolution.Treatment:
1) Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the vulvar skin, and avoid using soap or other irritating medications for washing. Prevent scratching the affected area with hands or instruments.
