Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, while taking a bath, I suddenly noticed a white patch on my vulva. Sometimes it itches quite a bit. Later, I went to the hospital for treatment. They gave me cortisone shots and used electrotherapy, but none of them had a significant effect. Now, I've been using Iranian saffron white spot cream, but so far, I haven't seen any results.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 moisture of the vulva and the impact of vaginal secretions are related to this condition. Unexplained itching, recurring itching, and even sepsis may also be involved. 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.
