Patient's question:
The area around the vulva is always itchy, especially at night. It has bled several times from scratching. I initially thought it was a gynecological inflammation and tried using some medication, but it didn't help. Later, I went to a regular hospital and was told it was leukoplakia of the vulva, and the area is slightly swollen. How can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is generally caused by long-term inflammatory stimulation, presenting with normal symptoms such as itching and precancerous lesions. In your case, the doctor at the hospital has already confirmed the diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia. Therefore, it is important to observe it carefully and frequently. If there are any special changes, such as ulcers or crusts, you should go to the hospital for pathological examination and surgical excision. The above is advice on this issue, hoping to assist you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
