Patient's question:
I'm still a college student at school, and I usually don't have any questionable behavior. But recently, my private area has been itchy, and it's getting worse. The skin there has also turned white. However, I'm too afraid to see a doctor. I did some research and found it's vulvar leukoplakia. It's really painful, and now I can't even focus on my studies. I'm very sad. I want to know why I got vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Don't panic. The main cause of vulvar leukoplakia is transmission from the genital area and inflammation stimulation. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention in daily life. Maintain vaginal dryness and cleanliness, and wear cotton underwear. Vulvar leukoplakia is a disease that is not easy to cure. Patients should maintain a positive attitude and face it with a proactive mindset, as this can only boost their confidence in combating vulvar leukoplakia.
