Patient's question:
It's better to find a good hospital for treating leukoplakia of the vulva. When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area became very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, it's really embarrassing. Is my condition leukoplakia of the vulva? Is this a big problem?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, may be caused by chronic injury, allergies, local endocrine and nutritional disorders, or metabolic disorders. Long-term local moisture of the vulva and irritation from vaginal secretions are also associated with this condition. Based on your situation, it is generally recommended to visit the gynecology department of a private tertiary hospital in your area for follow-up. Currently, cryotherapy or laser surgery is commonly considered for the treatment of vaginal leukoplakia. Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
