Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling itchy down there, and I even scratched it, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm really struggling with this. Hello, can leukoplakia of the vulva be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, may be caused by chronic injury, allergies, local endocrine and nutritional imbalances, or metabolic disorders. Long-term local vaginal moisture and the effects of vaginal discharge are associated with this condition. Itchy symptoms with unclear causes are recommended to be checked at a hospital for a thorough examination of vaginal discharge and necessary local examinations. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Laser therapy or surgical excision may be necessary if needed. Vaginal leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Wishing all female patients a speedy recovery!
