Patient's question:
I've been feeling itchy down there recently, especially when I take naps during the day. It can even wake me up from sleep. If I scratch hard, it hurts really bad. Also, I feel like my discharge has increased a bit, and it has a strong odor. I don't know if it's gynecological inflammation or leukoplakia of the vulva. My friend says it's more likely to be leukoplakia of the vulva. I want to know if the itching is due to leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Patients with leukoplakia of the vulva will experience symptoms of vulvar itching. This cannot be scratched with hands to prevent skin breakdown and transmission. It is still best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination as soon as possible. If the condition of leukoplakia is missed, the disorder will become more severe. In addition to receiving standard treatment for leukoplakia, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a Class III-A hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
