Patient's question:
What methods are good for treating leukoplakia of the vulva? At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I felt very dry, and I always felt itchy outside. After checking, it was said to be leukoplakia of the vulva. I don't really understand this disease.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 humidity in the vulva and the influence of vaginal secretions are associated with this condition. Itching that cannot be explained and recurring itching can also lead to. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination of vaginal secretions and necessary local examinations. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Laser treatment or surgical removal may be necessary if needed. For patients with vaginal leukoplakia, in addition to taking medication, it is also important to pay attention to personal care, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. It is also emphasized that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
