Patient's question:
Recently, white spots have appeared again on my external vagina. I don't know what it is, and I feel too embarrassed to ask anyone. I heard that my best friend saw something strange about me today. When she asked me, I told her. She laughed at me for a while! In the end, she told me that I probably have leukoplakia of the vulva. I don't know the main symptoms of leukoplakia of the vulva. Why does leukoplakia of the vulva occur?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area. It may be caused by poor personal hygiene, living in a relatively humid environment, leading to endocrine disorders and infections in the genital area. The main symptoms include vaginal itching and atrophy of the external genitalia. There are several treatment methods for vaginal leukoplakia, but since the condition varies among patients, the chosen treatment methods differ accordingly. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
