Patient's question:
My good sister has always felt that something was really off with her body. In the past few days, she noticed that her lower abdomen was itchy, especially severely. Upon closer inspection, she found some small white spots appearing again. After a thorough examination, she discovered that she had developed vulvar leukoplakia. Does excessive cleaning cause vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Now, in clinical diagnosis, there are indeed cases of leukoplakia of the vulva caused by excessive cleaning. In addition to other causes of leukoplakia of the vulva, there are several factors that can lead to it, such as infections and inflammatory stimuli in the genital area, endocrine disorders, and hereditary factors. For patients, if the condition of leukoplakia of the vulva is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of leukoplakia of the vulva. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
