Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that my lower body sometimes feels a bit itchy. Then I checked it, and after looking, I found some small white spots on the vulvar area, while other parts are mostly unaffected. Now I'm not sure what could be causing this. Over the past few days, I've tried Chinese herbal steam baths and some ointments that claim to completely eliminate vulvar leukoplakia, but they haven't been very effective. What should I do now? What should I do if I have vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you first pay attention to the cleanliness of the external genitalia. Use warm water to cleanse the external genitalia twice a day. Avoid using drugs as a wash to stimulate the external genitalia. If there is cervical or vaginitis, it should be treated early to reduce the irritation of leukorrhea to the skin of the external genitalia. If you notice white skin, itching, or increased leukorrhea of the external genitalia, you should check it in time. If necessary, a pathological section should be taken to confirm the diagnosis, even if the examination results are negative. For patients, if the condition of leukoplakia of the external genitalia is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be given, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of leukoplakia of the external genitalia. In addition, patients also need a proper diet and maintain a happy mood. The answers to the above questions can help everyone.
