Patient's question:
I am usually very careful about cleanliness. Now that I have a boyfriend, we are living together. We also sometimes have sexual relations, but we are both quite mindful of external hygiene. Once, I felt uncomfortable down there and found it was leukoplakia of the external genitalia. What is leukoplakia of the external genitalia in women?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar white lesions are also known as vulvar white lesions, vulvar leukoplakia, or vulvar dystrophy. The term vulvar leukoplakia actually refers to a disease caused by local nerve and vascular nutritional disorders of the vulva, leading to tissue degeneration and changes in pigmentation. In clinical diagnosis, conditions such as the whitening, thickening, or atrophy of the skin and mucosa of the vulva are often collectively referred to as "vulvar leukoplakia." In addition to treating vulvar leukoplakia, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a joyful mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
