Patient's question:
Doctor, I felt itchy outside my vulva a few weeks ago, and I also noticed that the color of my vulvar area was somewhat pale. So I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had leukoplakia of the vulva. What is leukoplakia of the vulva? What treatment can be effective for it?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is a disease caused by vaginal dystrophy, which can lead to symptoms such as local itching, leukoplakia, thickening, and hardening. If vaginal leukoplakia is diagnosed, timely treatment is necessary. Generally, under the guidance of a doctor, many topical medications can be applied to relieve symptoms. Additionally, appropriate estrogen should be taken. If the condition is severe, laser treatment can also be performed at the hospital.
