Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color is a bit different, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I'd like to ask: How should patients with leukoplakia of the vulva take care of themselves?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is a localized or diffuse white patch that reappears on the skin of the female vulva. Leukoplakia of the vulva requires long-term treatment, and follow-up periods of 3 to 6 months are recommended. After enduring the treatment, a relatively satisfactory effect can generally be achieved.Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that leukoplakia of the vulva is often caused by insufficient function of the liver, spleen, and kidneys, as well as functional imbalances among these organs, disharmony of qi and blood, stagnation of meridians, endocrine disorders, and poor nourishment of the skin. Compared to Western medicine, Chinese herbal medicine has the advantages of broad efficacy, fewer side effects, and is particularly suitable for long-term use.
