Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing vaginal dryness, itching, and a stinging sensation. My husband suggested intimacy, but I have little desire for it, and sex is accompanied by pain. I've also developed some pigmentation spots on my face, often feel irritable, and suffer from neurasthenia. Could you please explain how mixed-type leukoplakia of the vulva is caused, and is it related to the environment?Doctor's answer:
For leukoplakia of the vulva, it is mainly caused by hormonal imbalance in the body. Its main symptom is the whitening of the vulva. Sometimes, it may also be accompanied by whitening of the pubic hair. The treatment primarily involves the use of hormone drugs. It is recommended to have a thorough examination of the six sex hormones and leukorrhea routine once symptoms are detected, and only then proceed with treatment. The treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva is relatively slow, generally requiring continuous treatment for three months. If the condition of leukoplakia of the vulva is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with proper medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of leukoplakia of the vulva. In addition, proper diet and maintaining a cheerful mood are also necessary. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
