Patient's question:
I often feel a bit itchy down there, and there's a lot of leukorrhea, and it always has a fishy smell. I asked my mom, and she said she sometimes has the same situation. I looked up some information and found it might be vulvar leukoplakia. What does vulvar leukoplakia look like?Doctor's answer:
Your condition does not match vulvar leukoplakia. It is more likely bacterial vaginosis. The symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are always itchy, and in addition to local skin thickening and scaling of the vulva. Although it has similar symptoms to vaginitis, the treatments are quite different. Vaginitis is easy to treat, while vulvar leukoplakia is difficult to treat. You should go to the hospital for a thorough check of your vaginal discharge and start treatment promptly! Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery!
