Patient's question:
My best friend recently told me that some white spots have appeared again on her vulva, accompanied by pain. She thought they would gradually disappear, but recently noticed that they have been spreading. After researching some information, she suspects it might be vulvar leukoplakia. What exactly are the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia? What are the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia?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 orifice and vestibule. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and burning sensation. In addition to treating vulvar leukoplakia, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
