Patient's question:
Description of the problem: Are there any treatments for vaginal leukoplakia, and what causes it? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
First is the routine gynecological examination. Next is the laboratory test of vaginal discharge. The examination for leukoplakia of the vulva is usually based on local symptoms of the vulva, where the doctor makes a judgment through methods such as visual inspection and palpation. Modern instruments can also be used for analysis. Leukoplakia of the vulva can generally be diagnosed based on symptoms, such as the appearance of white patches on the local mucous membrane of the vulva, itching, roughness, and scaling, which will all be diagnosed as leukoplakia. Of course, there are many types of leukoplakia of the vulva. If the leukoplakia is of the hyperplastic type, meaning the local skin mucosa has thickened, its elasticity has worsened, and corresponding discomfort symptoms such as ulcers have appeared, further cell biopsy is needed to observe whether there are cancer cells for confirmation.
