Patient's question:
A few days ago during my menstrual period, my external genitalia were normal. Now that my period has ended, I noticed that some white spots have reappeared on my external genitalia, which are quite, but my body doesn't feel any special discomfort. I don't know if it's some kind of skin disease. I'm desperate to know what causes these leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Vulvar leukoplakia is a type of nutritional deficiency in the female vulva. Its main symptom is persistent itching in the vulvar area, with clear boundaries between the itchy areas and normal skin, appearing white, glossy, and in patches. The changes in your vulvar skin are not due to vulvar leukoplakia but rather simple vulvitis (skin eczema caused by sanitary pads). It is recommended that you visit a public hospital's gynecology clinic under the guidance of a doctor for medication.In addition to treating vulvar leukoplakia, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
