Patient's question:
My vulva has appeared with some white spots again, sometimes with some white scales. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had vulvar leukoplakia. I have never heard of this disease and don't know how I could get it. So, I want to know what's going on. What exactly is vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Alright, leukoplakia of the vulva, also known as vulvar dystrophy, is a condition that may be caused by chronic injury, allergies, local endocrine and nutritional imbalances, or metabolic disorders. Long-term local dampness of the vulva and irritation from vaginal secretions are associated with this condition. Unexplained itching, recurring itching, and even (sepsis) can also occur. 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. This condition, leukoplakia of the vulva, is not easily cured. Friends suffering from this disease should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating vulvar leukoplakia and believe that they can definitely receive effective treatment.
