What is vaginal leukoplakia?

Patient's question:

Description of the problem: Leukoplakia in the vagina

Doctor's answer:

Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is a gynecological condition that results from local loss of pigment in the vulvar skin, leading to decreased elasticity of the vulvar skin and mucosa, and even atrophy and disappearance of the labia majora and minora. It is associated with endocrine disorders, genetics, and long-term inflammation. Laser therapy can be tried, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to relieve itching, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to clean the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods.
