Patient's question:
I discovered some white spots on my external genital area while taking a bath last month. I immediately went to the hospital, and the doctor told me that this is a very common condition known as leukoplakia of the vulva. He prescribed some medication for me, but after using it for nearly a month, I haven't noticed any improvement. In fact, the white spots have been getting larger and it looks very unpleasant. How can leukoplakia of the vulva be so difficult to treat?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that requires long-term treatment. During the treatment period, personal hygiene must be paid attention to, and underwear should be changed frequently. Underwear should be exposed to sunlight for disinfection. This condition can be treated, and the general treatment method involves a combination of medication and physical therapy, which is relatively effective. For severe cases of vaginal leukoplakia, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
