Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. Could you please explain how leukoplakia of the external genitalia is caused and what can be done to relieve it? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva refers to a pigmentation-decreasing disease caused by nutritional disorders of the skin of the vulva. The etiology is complex and can be triggered by many systemic factors, such as nutritional status, autoimmune diseases, etc. Local humidity and heat exposure can also lead to it. In the early stages, leukoplakia of the vulva can be treated symptomatically. The treatment for this disease first requires maintaining the cleanliness and dryness of the local skin, wearing loose cotton underwear. Alkaline soaps or irritating drugs should be avoided for local washing, and hot water should not be used either.
