Patient's question:
Recently, I always felt itchy in the external genital area. Since I already had vaginitis, I thought it was related to that condition, so I didn't take it seriously. I just used medication to treat it every day, but after a week, it didn't work. So I went to see a doctor, and after a thorough examination, the doctor discovered it was leukoplakia of the external genitalia, saying it might be caused by inflammation. Will leukoplakia of the external genitalia spread?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia can spread to the inner sides of both lower limbs, the perineum, and the anus. It is rarely seen spreading to other parts of the body because these areas are usually more moist. Under long-term humid and hot conditions, one can develop vaginal leukoplakia. In fact, having vaginal leukoplakia is not terrifying. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as it is detected early and timely treatment is provided, the chances of alleviating the condition and undergoing treatment are very high.
