Patient's question:
Lately, every time I have sex with my husband, I experience some pain. Also, I noticed a white spot the size of a fingernail in my vaginal area, inside the pubic hair. I'm not quite sure when it started, but I only recently discovered it. It doesn't itch or hurt. What are the causes of vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is mostly caused by vaginal malnutrition. It often presents symptoms such as white patches, fibrosis, swelling, and itching. Currently, there are minimally invasive surgical treatments for vaginal leukoplakia that do not require hospitalization or pressure. These procedures offer a one-time cure. For your condition, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period for vaginal leukoplakia, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must ensure adequate vitamin intake, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
