Patient's question:
85 years old, carefully checked, have never seen it, during cohabitation, there is pain near the anus.Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus but rarely affects the urethral opening or vestibule. Symptoms include itching, dryness, thickening and whitening of the skin, loss of elasticity, even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and a burning sensation. Clinical diagnosis and pathological examination reveal atypical cell fibrosis, which falls under the category of "vulvar pruritus," "vulvar pain," and "vulvar discomfort" in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is often caused by dampness and heat from the liver channel descending to invade the vulva, or by blood deficiency leading to liver hyperactivity, yin deficiency in the liver and kidneys, or kidney yang deficiency, all of which result in insufficient nourishment of the vulva by essence and blood.
