Patient's question:
My cousin's lower body has been feeling bad recently. She has been feeling particularly itchy down there for these past few days, along with significant pain. After a thorough examination, she found out she had leukoplakia of the vulva. She doesn't know what caused it. Could nutritional imbalance lead to leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, may be caused by chronic injury damage, local nutritional endocrine disorders, or metabolic disorders. Therefore, based on the current situation, it is likely that this disease has recurred due to nutritional endocrine disorders. For severe cases of vaginal leukoplakia, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or medications to treat the condition, as this may worsen the symptoms.
