Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, while taking a bath, I suddenly noticed a white patch on my vulva. Sometimes it itches. Later, I went to the hospital for treatment. I received corticosteroid injections and had electrotherapy, but they didn't produce significant results. Currently, I am using Iranian saffron white spot cream, and so far, I haven't seen any effect.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, vulvar 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 the impact of vaginal secretions are associated with this condition. Unexplained itching, recurring itching, and even sepsis can also be related to it. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination of vaginal secretions and necessary local examinations. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with vulvar leukoplakia need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from this condition more quickly.
