Patient's question:
The lady next door has been feeling some itching for the past year and initially thought it was due to menopause, so she didn't take it seriously. However, later she experienced vaginal pain during sexual activity and also developed symptoms of leukoplakia of the external genitalia. The doctor diagnosed it as leukoplakia of the external genitalia. What is leukoplakia of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, 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. It is one of the common gynecological diseases. In addition to timely treatment for vulvar leukoplakia, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immunity and the belief in combating the disease. At the same time, they should pay more attention to dietary care, primarily focusing on light foods and avoiding irritating and cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away vulvar leukoplakia.
