Patient's question:
Recently, my external genital area has been itchy. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it's leukoplakia of the external genitalia. I feel extremely upset, but I don't dare tell my family or colleagues, afraid of being laughed at. If someone knows, can this condition be cured? Can leukoplakia of the external genitalia be cured?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is not caused by bacteria, nor is it caused by viruses, nor is it a skin disease or an infectious disease. There is no need to worry. From a Western medicine perspective, vaginal leukoplakia is triggered by factors such as weakened immunity, endocrine disorders, increased estrogen, and repeated irritation of the vulva by gynecological inflammation or hereditary transmission. With proper treatment, it can be completely cured. For severe cases of vaginal leukoplakia, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or medications to treat the condition, as this may worsen the.
