Patient's question:
My lower body has recently been experiencing recurrent itching. Is the itching and odor in the area a symptom of leukoplakia of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a common symptom among gynecological patients, often caused by various inflammations of the external genitalia, but it can also occur in individuals with completely normal external genitalia. Candidal vaginitis and trichomoniasis are the most common causes of vaginal itching. Therefore, you may not necessarily have leukoplakia of the vulva. For patients, if the condition of leukoplakia of the vulva is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of the condition. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
