Patient's question:
So far, I have heard many women talk about the condition of leukoplakia of the vulva. They say that women should start paying attention to their bodies once they reach a certain age, and if they don't, it's very easy to develop leukoplakia of the vulva. However, for me, I don't really understand this condition well. What exactly is leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal 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 affect the urethral opening or 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. Patients with vaginal leukoplakia can, while understanding the principle of treating symptoms, use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
