Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What is the condition called leukoplakia of the external genitalia?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 in nutrient decomposition and metabolism, which prevent nutrients from effectively reaching the skin and organ tissues. This also leads to irregular growth of epithelial cells, resulting in white vulvar skin, recurrence of white pubic hair, rough skin, scaling, swelling, and cracking, among other adverse conditions. It is recommended to seek professional medical attention for examination and treatment. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients maintain vulvar cleanliness, change underwear frequently, and finally, wish female patients a speedy recovery!
