Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I've also been constantly experiencing itching in my outer vaginal area. After a checkup, it was diagnosed as leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me how to effectively prevent leukoplakia of the vulva from worsening?Doctor's answer:
Hello, vulvar leukoplakia manifests in two forms: and squamous epithelial cell fibrosis. Among them, the type presents with white vulvar color and vulvar atrophy. However, due to the unclear etiology, there is currently no method available. Symptomatic treatment is the only option. It is recommended to apply vitamin E locally. The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia severely threatens women's health. Patients should pay attention to avoiding sexual activity during treatment and maintaining good personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
