What are the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia?

Patient's question:

My body has always been quite good, and I've been divorced for almost a year. I've never had any gynecological diseases, and I always felt that gynecological diseases were far away from me. The day before yesterday, my husband got drunk, and since we didn't take a bath, we had sexual relations again. The past two days, I've been feeling uncomfortable, with a itchy sensation between my legs, which is said to be leukoplakia of the vulva. What are the symptoms of leukoplakia of the vulva?

Doctor's answer:

Vulvar 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 affects the urethral opening or the vestibule. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and burning sensation. The daily treatment for vulvar leukoplakia is primarily symptomatic. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods. Vulvar leukoplakia patients can recover quickly!
