Patient's question:
My sister is a very pretty girl. She often has some guys chasing her, but recently it seems she's been very annoyed. Yesterday, when we had afternoon tea together, I heard her say that she's been very annoyed lately. She said that some white patches have grown on her vulva, and she suspects it might be vulvar leukoplakia. What kind of disease is vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal 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 affect the urethral opening or vestibule. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, and even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and a burning sensation. In addition to treating vaginal leukoplakia, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
