Patient's question:
The object had an induced abortion a year ago. Shortly after, the vaginal opening turned white with no obvious symptoms. No diagnosis or treatment was given. Now, sometimes it itches, and sometimes there are sharp pains, but they are not very noticeable. Previously, when consulting online, a doctor said it was leukoplakia of the vulva, which is a precancerous condition and very frightening. After researching leukoplakia online, it doesn't seem to match, and I don't know what to do. How can I handle this? I request guidance from a doctor. Thank you!!!Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, consider that the increased female reproductive tract discharge caused by gynecological inflammation may lead to itching in the female reproductive tract opening. Conditions such as cervical erosion, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and uterine fibroids can all cause this. It is recommended that you undergo an ultrasound, a female reproductive tract examination, and a routine vaginal discharge test for a definitive diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects the patient's health but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
