Patient's question:
Vaginal leukoplakia: Is it treatable? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, may be caused by chronic injury, allergies, local nutritional and endocrine disorders, or metabolic disorders. Long-term local dampness of the vulva and irritation from vaginal secretions are also associated with this condition. Unexplained itching, recurrent itching, and sepsis can also occur. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination of vaginal secretions and necessary local examinations. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Laser therapy or surgical excision may be necessary if needed. The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia severely threatens women's health. Patients should pay attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness and avoiding sexual activity in daily life. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive professional treatment.
