Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color is a bit different, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm asking: Which hospital is better for checking leukoplakia of the vulva?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. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and burning sensation. It is best to consult a hospital for diagnosis to determine the type and investigate whether the itching is caused by gynecological inflammation or allergies. There are many reasons that can cause vaginal itching. If the diagnosis is vaginal leukoplakia, early treatment is recommended. The recurrence of vaginal leukoplakia severely harms women's health, and patients should avoid sexual intercourse during treatment and pay attention to personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
