Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy down there, and it seems the color has changed too, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. Could you please tell me: how exactly should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in medicine, vulvar leukoplakia is referred to as "vulvar dystrophy." The causes are related to the dysfunction of microcirculation under the vulvar mucosa and disorders of nutritional decomposition metabolism, which prevent nutrients from being effectively delivered to the skin and organ tissues through microcirculation to function. At the same time, it leads to irregular growth of epithelial cells, resulting in white vulvar skin tissue, and some may experience recurrence of white pubic hair, rough skin, scaling, shrinkage, and cracking, among other adverse conditions.
