Patient's question:
Hello doctor! My child is only 12 years old. The hospital diagnosed it as leukoplakia of the vulva. How could a child get this disease? How is it treated? What kind of help is needed: Where should I go to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
The pathogenesis of the disease is often due to insufficient yin and blood in the liver and kidneys, leading to wind and dryness in the genital area, causing unbearable itching. Alternatively, it may be caused by spleen qi deficiency, where qi deficiency and blood insufficiency fail to warm the genital area. Spleen deficiency can also generate dampness, which flows into the genital area, creating a mixed situation of deficiency and stagnation of qi and blood. It may also be due to internal heat and dampness, where heat accumulates in the skin of the genital area, causing itching and rough skin. When the disease invades the meridians, patients should maintain a positive attitude and face the disease head-on. At the same time, they should pay close attention to dietary care, ensuring balanced nutrition and timely digestion of nutrients, believing that this will surely drive away leukoplakia of the external genitalia.
