Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I've also been constantly feeling itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: How can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated to recover quickly and prevent it from recurring?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you consult with a local hospital. Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as leukoplakia of the vulva, vulvar dystrophy, or vulvar nutritional disorder, has an incidence rate of approximately 5-10 per thousand among women. This condition is not contagious but can be inherited across generations (with a high inheritance rate). Common clinical manifestations include pure white frost-like, grayish-white, pinkish-white, or black spots. The affected area can cover the entire vulva, perineum, and perianal region. Regarding your specific condition, as it is not visible online, it cannot be accurately determined. It is advised to follow medical advice for resolution.Treatment:
1) General treatment: Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the vulvar skin, avoid using soap or other irritating medications for washing, and prevent scratching the affected area with hands or instruments.
