Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 32 years old, and that's all. Recently, I found some white spots on my vulva, which have been said to be itchy and cannot be removed. I feel very upset. Do you know why this is happening? I don't understand it very well. Doctor, how is vulvar leukoplakia treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia generally exhibits nutritional lesions of the external genitalia. It is caused by local vaginal malnutrition leading to depigmentation, with the main manifestations being itching and dryness of the external genitalia. There is generally no particularly effective treatment for this condition. You can visit a traditional Chinese medicine research institute to consult a TCM practitioner and use some traditional Chinese medicine foot baths or sitz baths for treatment. Daily use of fish oil or vitamin E can help alleviate discomfort symptoms. The recurrence of vaginal leukoplakia severely threatens women's health, and patients need to pay attention to postmenstrual follow-up in daily life, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
