Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what are the specific symptoms of leukoplakia of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia patients often experience itching, dryness, hardness, and burning-like pain in the vulvar area. Focal or diffuse white, thickened plaques may reappear on the labia majora/minora, perineum, or around the anus, with rough surfaces, cracks, and ulcers. In some cases, the local skin and mucosa become thin, lose elasticity, and the labia majora/minora may become significantly enlarged or even disappear. Vulvar atrophy can sometimes also lead to difficulties during labor. In addition to local symptoms, systemic symptoms such as restlessness, chest tightness or palpitations, shortness of breath, general weakness, decreased appetite, insomnia and frequent dreams, lower back and waist pain, chills, and decreased libido may also occur.
