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 detailed tests are needed for diagnosing vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia typically has two careful examination methods: first, a routine gynecological examination. Second, laboratory examination of vaginal secretions. The examination of vaginal leukoplakia is usually based on local symptoms of the vulva. The doctor makes a diagnosis through visual inspection, palpation, and other means. High-tech instruments can also be used for diagnosis. A biopsy is necessary for diagnosis. For patients with vaginal leukoplakia, conservative treatment should be adopted, with regular follow-up, unless the condition is severe, refractory, or has developed moderate to severe atypical hyperplasia, in which case surgery may be considered to prevent cancer transformation.
