Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on lately, I've been feeling unwell all the time. The external genital area is particularly itchy, sometimes to the point where I can't bear it. I've taken quite a few anti-inflammatory medications, but they don't seem to be working much. I mentioned it to my friends, and they said it might be leukoplakia of the vulva. What symptoms are similar to vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is generally accompanied by severe itching that can last for several months. This itching is not seasonal or time-bound, making it extremely unbearable. If it is accompanied by trichomoniasis or candidiasis, the itching will intensify continuously. Therefore, it is recommended to go to a formal gynecological hospital for a definitive diagnosis before taking any measures. The daily treatment for patients with vaginal leukoplakia mainly involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to regular rest and avoiding alcohol. It is hoped that patients with vaginal leukoplakia can recover as soon as possible.
