Patient's question:
How to treat leukoplakia of the external genitalia Recently, 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 external genitalia. It's really distressing.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 of nutritional decomposition metabolism, which prevent nutrients from effectively reaching the skin organ tissues to function. This leads to irregular growth of epithelial cells, resulting in white patches on the vulvar skin. Some may also experience whitening of pubic hair, rough skin, scaling, swelling, and cracking, among other adverse conditions.It is recommended to seek professional medical treatment at a regular hospital for examination and treatment. The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia significantly affects women's health, and patients should pay attention to treatment during their daily lives. Avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good personal hygiene. We hope that female patients can receive proper medical care.
