Patient's question:
I used to have gynecological diseases after giving birth, but later they were cured through treatment. Recently, I've been feeling some itching and thought it might be a recurrence of gynecological diseases, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. They said I had leukoplakia of the vulva. I'd like to know what are the causes of leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, 50% of individuals with vulvar leukoplakia are infected due to gynecological diseases in the vulvar area and unclean living habits. There are several causes that can trigger inflammation and irritation, such as: poor personal hygiene, frequently wearing synthetic underwear, using unclean sanitary products during menstruation, frequently soaking in public baths, or engaging in activities like ice skating in public bathhouses, which can lead to vaginal inflammation. For patients, if the condition of vulvar leukoplakia is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia. Additionally, patients need to maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood.
