Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is a localized or diffuse white patch that appears on the skin of the female vulva and can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus. Symptoms include itching in the vulvar area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, and even atrophy and ulcers, accompanied by pain and a burning sensation. "Leukoplakia of the vulva" must be treated long-term, with follow-up periods of 3 to 6 months being ideal. With persistent treatment, generally a satisfactory outcome can be achieved.Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that leukoplakia of the vulva is often caused by insufficient function of the liver, spleen, and kidneys, as well as functional imbalances among these organs, disharmony of qi and blood, blockage of meridians, endocrine disorders, and poor nourishment of the skin. Compared to Western medicine, Chinese herbal medicine has the advantages of broad-spectrum effects, fewer side effects, and suitability for long-term use.
