Patient's question:
I have developed leukoplakia of the vulva. Previously, there were no symptoms in my vulva, and I didn't experience any pain during sexual activity. Recently, after intercourse, I've noticed itching. Yesterday, I discovered white patches on my vulva. I don't know if it's a serious gynecological condition. Is this related to a sexually transmitted disease?Doctor's answer:
