Patient's question:
I am working outside, and my wife is taking care of the children at home. Recently, she called me and said that she has white spots on her vulva and it's very itchy. I have encouraged her to see a doctor, but she just won't go. I don't have time to accompany her, so I would like to consult experts about the condition of vulvar leukoplakia and seek their advice. What are the dangers of vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar leukoplakia. It 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 orifice and 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 burning sensation. 10%-30% of patients may develop cancer, making it a chronic condition. Vulvar leukoplakia is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment. Patients can follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, they should pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
