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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me what surgical treatment is available for vulvar atrophy?Doctor's answer:
This friend, the causes of vulvar skin atrophy are as follows:1. Primary vulvar atrophy: In postmenopausal elderly women, ovarian function declines, estrogen levels decrease, and their target organs also shrink.
2. Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as chronic vulvar dystrophy, is divided into fibrotic, lichenified, and mixed types. Among them, the lichenified type involves prolonged inflammation, where inflammatory lesions cause the loss of elastic tissue in the dermis, leading to fibrosis. This results in atrophy of the clitoris, small labia, and vulvar atrophy.
There are many treatments for vulvar atrophy, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the chosen treatment methods differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
