Patient's question:
The same room before and after, both my husband and I paid close attention to hygiene. During these two times of intimacy, I always felt my external genitalia were particularly dry and painful. When I took a bath at night, I took a look at my external genitalia and noticed that there were several white spots. This was when I realized it was leukoplakia of the vulva. What factors cause leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the factors that cause vulvar leukoplakia include vaginal infections and inflammatory effects, as well as hereditary factors such as diabetes, vitiligo, vulvar eczema, and vulvar pruritus. Improper use of medication or inadequate treatment may also lead to or alleviate the formation and expansion of leukoplakia.There are multiple different reasons for vulvar leukoplakia, but the main causes are still vaginal infections and inflammatory effects. For patients with vulvar leukoplakia, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, eating less spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
