Patient's question:
Hello, my situation is as follows. It has been going on for a month. I have had itching in my external genital area, and there are white spots on my perineum. At first, I thought it was discharge sticking to it. At night, I washed it carefully, but it couldn't be washed off. The itching in my external genital area has persisted for a long time, and it still hasn't stopped. I asked a doctor at the hospital, and he said it might be leukoplakia of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, is often caused by endocrine disorders, disruptions, and low or abnormal immunity. It manifests as white patches on the vulvar skin, ulcers, atrophy of the labia majora and minora, and intense itching. In daily life, it is recommended to wear loose, breathable underwear and pants, preferably made of pure cotton, and avoid synthetic materials such as polyester. The affected area should always be kept dry, ventilated, and cool.Vaginal leukoplakia 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 the vestibule. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to managing life stress and emotions, maintaining a positive attitude and cheerful mood.
