Patient's question:
The vulvar leukoplakia of my wife has been going on for two years, and it hasn't been treated yet. Every time, she just takes some medicine. Recently, it has recurred, and it's much itchier than before.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, is mostly caused by endocrine disorders, disruptions, and low or abnormal immunity. Clinically, it manifests as depigmentation, paleness, hyperkeratosis, roughness, thickening, scaling, hardening, cracks, ulcers, and atrophy of the labia majora and minora. Symptoms include itching or intensely unbearable pruritus, which can affect work mood, normal social interactions, and significantly impair sexual life. 10% of patients may develop cancer, making it a stubborn condition that is difficult to eradicate effectively elsewhere.
