Patient's question:
My wife had a thorough examination at the hospital and was diagnosed with leukoplakia of the vulva. I know my wife is a very upright and hygienic person. Now that she has this disease, she must be feeling terrible. She said that because of this condition, her vulva is extremely itchy and painful every day, and I can't help her. What are the high risks of leukoplakia of the vulva to the body?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, in addition to causing recurrent itching, can also lead to dryness or gradual thickening and whitening of the surrounding skin, loss of elasticity, and even the possibility of skin atrophy. If left untreated for a long time, there is also a certain risk of vaginal cancer. Facing the harm of vaginal leukoplakia, we should actively implement careful examination and treatment, and not avoid seeking medical attention. If vaginal leukoplakia does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
