Patient's question:
I am still a college student at school, and I usually don't have any questionable behavior. However, recently, my private area has been itchy, and it's getting worse. The skin there has also turned white. But I don't dare to see a doctor. I did some research and found it's vulvar leukoplakia. It's really painful, and now I can't even focus on my studies. I'm very sad. I want to know why I got vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Don't panic. The main cause of vulvar leukoplakia is primarily due to infections and inflammatory stimuli in the genital area. Therefore, it is essential to pay close attention in daily life. Maintain vaginal dryness and cleanliness at all times, and wear cotton underwear. Vulvar leukoplakia is a disease that is not easy to cure. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with a proactive attitude. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating vulvar leukoplakia.
