Patient's question:
It has been two months since the labia majora and minora turned white. Sometimes they itch intensely, especially at night. When scratching, there is a slight pain in the labia majora and minora. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is also known as leukoplakia of the vulva, vulvar dystrophy, and other names. It is important to maintain vulvar skin cleanliness and dryness. Stop using or scrubbing with irritating drugs, and avoid scratching the affected area with hands or instruments. Avoid spicy and allergenic foods, wear loose clothing, and avoid wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear to prevent prolonged and exacerbate inflammation. However, it is recommended that you visit a regular hospital gynecology department for verification. There are many treatments for vulvar leukoplakia, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods will also differ. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
