Patient's question:
In my daily life, I am very particular and pay great attention to hygiene. Gynecological inflammation is generally very rare for me. One day, I suddenly felt a persistent itch in the lower part of my body and had no idea what was causing it. My husband noticed some white spots on my lower area and asked me about them. I was also unaware, so I went to the hospital and learned that I had developed vulvar leukoplakia.What does vulvar leukoplakia look like?
Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, vitiligo is generally classified into five types based on the morphology, extent, and treatment response of the patches: generalized type, segmental type, localized type, universal type, and acral type. It can be divided into complete and incomplete types based on the extent of pigment loss in the inflamed area. The stages of vulvar vitiligo can be divided into three phases: active phase, quiescent phase, and healing phase. In some patients, pigment cells in the retina and pia mater may be affected. The course of the disease is chronic and can last a lifetime, with complete recovery being rare. In addition, during the treatment of vulvar vitiligo, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vulvar vitiligo.
