Patient's question:
I recently noticed a small bump on my labia majora. It's not very clear, but I can feel it. Also, I feel that the color of my left labia minora and right labia minora is significantly different. Could I have leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
First, please don't be too nervous. As you mentioned, it should be candidiasis of the vagina. Although it is very easy to develop, it doesn't mean it's absolutely incurable. For the vast majority of patients, it can be cured. It's just that under the right conditions for fungal growth, it's very easy to develop. In fact, having leukoplakia of the external genitalia is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
