Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time. Especially during work, it's really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: How is vulvar leukoplakia treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, medically, vulvar leukoplakia is known as "vulvar dystrophy." The causes are related to the dysfunction of microcirculation under the vulvar mucosa and disorders in nutritional decomposition and metabolism, which prevent nutrients from effectively reaching the skin and organ tissues through microcirculation. This also leads to irregular growth of epithelial cells, resulting in white vulvar skin, some of which may experience whitening of pubic hair, rough skin, scaling, swelling, and cracking, among other adverse conditions. It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a regular and professional hospital. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients maintain vulvar cleanliness, change underwear frequently, and finally, wish female patients a speedy recovery!
