Patient's question:
How to treat leukoplakia of the female genital areaDoctor's answer:
Vaginal infection and inflammatory stimulation are the main causes of leukoplakia of the vulva, accounting for about 50% of cases. There are many factors that can lead to vaginal infection and inflammatory stimulation, such as poor hygiene habits, wearing synthetic underwear, using unclean sanitary products, showering in public baths, or swimming in bathhouses, which can cause vaginal inflammation. If not treated promptly, inflammatory secretions may infiltrate the perineum. Long-term infection and stimulation can damage the skin and mucosa, leading to redness, swelling, ulcers, and degeneration, which may gradually develop into leukoplakia of the vulva. It is best to consult a local reputable public hospital for clarification before undergoing examination and treatment.
