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'd like to ask: What is the best way to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the external genitalia 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 affects the urethral opening or vestibule. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, even shrinkage and ulcers, accompanied by pain and burning sensation. To treat leukoplakia of the external genitalia, it is necessary to cut off the inflammation of the white patches, repair the skin damage of the external genitalia, and completely restore the normal function of the skin tissue cells. It is usually treatable. You don't need to be too stressed. After a thorough examination in a regular hospital, you can decide on an appropriate treatment plan based on your condition. Try to restrain yourself from scratching, avoid wearing tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and eat fewer irritating foods.
