Patient's question:
How can vulvar leukoplakia be treated effectively? While taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, which is really embarrassing. Is my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Is this a big problem?Doctor's answer:
Medicine believes that the fundamental reason for the recurrence of leukoplakia of the vulva is based on the deficiency of kidney qi and kidney essence. This deficiency can be caused by insufficient congenital kidney qi, excessive loss of kidney qi after illness, excessive damage from emotions and sexual activities, or multiple miscarriages with insufficient recovery, or excessive blood loss leading to damage to the liver and kidneys. Additionally, factors such as internal emotional injury, liver fire invading the spleen, and damp-heat descending can lead to imbalances in organ function, disruptions in qi, blood, yin, yang, and endocrine systems, which are extremely important triggering factors in the onset of the disease. It is essential not to overlook the fact that leukoplakia of the vulva is an easily recurring gynecological condition. During treatment, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients focus on maintaining cleanliness in the genital area and follow a light diet. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
