Patient's question:
During the time before and after cohabitation, both my husband and I paid close attention to hygiene. During these two instances of cohabitation, I always felt that my external genital area was particularly dry and very painful. While taking a bath at night, I examined my external genital area myself and discovered that there were several white spots on it. This is when I realized it was leukoplakia of the external genitalia. What factors can cause leukoplakia of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the factors that trigger vulvar leukoplakia include vaginal infections and inflammatory stimuli, as well as hereditary factors such as diabetes, vitiligo, vulvar eczema, and vulvar pruritus. Improper use of medication or inadequate treatment may also lead to or exacerbate the development and spread of leukoplakia. There are multiple reasons for vulvar leukoplakia, but the main cause remains vaginal infections and inflammatory stimuli. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain vulvar cleanliness, change underwear frequently, and finally, wish female patients a speedy recovery!
