Patient's question:
I've been feeling some white spots on my vulva these days, along with some itching. I didn't pay much attention to it before, thinking it was inflammation, so I just rinsed it daily. Today, while researching, I came across a condition called leukoplakia of the vulva, and it seems quite similar to my symptoms. I'm a bit worried and would like to understand what the initial symptoms of leukoplakia of the vulva are?Doctor's answer:
The initial symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are primarily vulvar itching, which can even lead to severe itching symptoms causing neurasthenia. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination of vaginal secretions to diagnose the cause before treatment. Pay attention to hygiene in the private area and during sexual activity, change underwear frequently, and sterilize underwear by boiling water when washing. Avoid wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear and refrain from consuming spicy and irritating foods.
