Patient's question:
Description of the problem: Are there any treatments for vaginal leukoplakia, and what causes it? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
First, there is the routine gynecological examination. Next, there is the laboratory examination 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 is generally diagnosed based on symptoms, such as the appearance of white patches on the local mucosa of the vulva, itching, roughness, and scaling, which are all indicative of leukoplakia. Of course, there are many types of leukoplakia of the vulva. If the leukoplakia is of the hyperplastic type, meaning that the local skin and mucosa have thickened, the elasticity has deteriorated, and corresponding symptoms such as ulcers have appeared, further cell biopsy is necessary to observe whether there are cancer cells, in order to confirm the diagnosis.
