Patient's question:
Every day, my private area is very itchy, but I don't know why. When I take medication, it improves, but when I stop, it recurs. The examination revealed symptoms of vulvar atrophy. What methods are effective for treating vulvar atrophy?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Vulvar atrophy is often caused by leukoplakia of the vulva, which is medically referred to as vulvar dystrophy. This condition is due to microcirculation disorders in the subcutaneous tissue of the vulva, endocrine dysfunction in decomposition metabolism, damage to the nutrient supply pathways of subcutaneous tissue, and impaired nutrient supply to the tissues, leading to disordered growth of skin tissues. The vulvar skin and mucosa then reappear with varying degrees of leukoplakia, roughness, fibrosis, and shrinkage. In short, the fundamental cause of vulvar dystrophy is poor nutrition in the vulvar area. Therefore, to fundamentally solve vulvar dystrophy, it is necessary to restore the microcirculation of the subcutaneous tissue of the vulva and its decomposition metabolism function, thereby addressing the issue of tissue nutrition supply, activating cell activity, and restoring the shrunken vulva to normal.
