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. Please advise. What are the clinical symptoms of leukoplakia of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is primarily characterized by vaginal itching, especially at night. The skin of the vulva is often purplish-red or pale red, but can also appear grayish-white or grayish-blue. Mild swelling of the vulva may be observed, and in severe cases, the clitoris, labia majora, and labia minora may atrophy, adhere together, and partially or completely disappear. The posterior may tighten, leading to a narrowed vaginal opening with lost elasticity, potentially interfering with urination and sexual activity.Treatment for vaginal leukoplakia includes:
1. Medication: After washing the vulva with a Ph4 weak acid-formulated feminine care liquid, topical hormone medications, local anesthetic anti-anaerobic rods, and traditional Chinese medicine treatments are applied.
2. Physical therapy.
