Patient's question:
I'm so old, I really shouldn't have this disease, but later it was likely due to taking a bath in a public bath that I got infected by others. Now I'm so frustrated. I've gone to the hospital many times, but I feel too embarrassed to go anymore. At my age, besides leukoplakia of the vulva, I now want to try traditional Chinese medicine for treatment and just take some Chinese herbal medicine.Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that leukoplakia of the external genitalia is often caused by insufficient function of the liver, spleen, and kidneys, as well as the dysfunction and imbalance between these organs. It is attributed to the disruption of qi and blood, stagnation of meridians, endocrine disorders, and poor nourishment of the skin. Compared to Western medicine, Chinese herbal medicine has the advantages of broad efficacy, minimal side effects, and is particularly suitable for long-term use. Leukoplakia of the external genitalia poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly while also paying close attention to self-care. Eating more vegetables and fruits and avoiding irritating foods is recommended.
