Patient's question:
Since having a child, I've felt like I've had quite a few gynecological infections. I often experience itching in the vulvar area, and there's also abnormal vaginal discharge. Besides the odor, when I chatted with a friend, she said I might have leukoplakia of the vulva. I want to know the symptoms of leukoplakia of the vulva. What are the symptoms of leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms are severe skin keratosis and fibrosis, with repeated peeling of the keratin layer, or vulvar erythema, edema, cracking, and erosion caused by scratching. It may also include itching accompanied by a sense of pain. Patients perceive the symptoms as severe, but this type of patient responds quickly to treatment. For example, in the "Chinese medicine conditioning and balanced nutrition infiltration therapy," about 85% of patients experience significant symptom relief within a course of treatment. There are several treatment methods for leukoplakia of the vulva, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon discovering symptoms.
