Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent itching and a bad odor in the external genital area. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had leukoplakia of the vulva. Upon closer inspection, I did notice some faint white patches in the external genital area. I'm very careful about hygiene, so how could I get this condition? Please help me understand. If I have leukoplakia of the vulva, how should I use medication and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal skin color changes to white should be checked by a hospital regardless of whether there is itching. If the skin is thickened, rough, raised, ulcers, cracks, or has lumps, it is even more important to be cautious and surgery may be necessary if needed. Since "white vaginal lesions" are quite stubborn, long-term treatment should be endured, and follow-up visits should be scheduled. A follow-up interval of 3 to 6 months is ideal. After enduring the treatment, generally a more satisfactory result can be achieved. Medication treatment can include vitamin supplements. In addition to timely treatment for leukoplakia, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor changes in their symptoms, believing that this will definitely drive away leukoplakia.
