Patient's question:
At first, there was just a bit of grayish-white in my external genital area, besides the itching symptom. After pulling for a while, it turned into patchy white spots, with normal skin color connecting between each spot. Which hospitals can treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia can be treated in any regular public hospital, although the effectiveness may vary. Tertiary hospitals generally offer better results, but they tend to have more patients, making it a bit challenging to get an appointment. Moreover, for vaginal leukoplakia, the main goal of treatment is not complete relief but rather to alleviate symptoms as much as possible, primarily to reduce itching and stabilize the condition. Creams are usually prescribed, and if there is a recurrence of local infection leading to precancerous changes, surgery may be necessary. Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence.
