What medicine can be used for vulvar white spots

The female vagina is always moist and is most likely to breed bacteria, so if you don't protect your vagina well and clean it frequently, it is possible that more and more bacteria will breed. Too many bacteria can cause vaginal lesions in women. Some women find white spots growing in their vaginal area. This situation is actually very dangerous. Let’s find out what medicine can be used to remove the white spots?

Symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia

1. Hyperplastic vulvar leukoplakia: generally occurs in women aged 30 to 60 years old. The surface color is mostly dark red or pink, interspersed with clearly defined white patches, and generally without atrophy or adhesion. The main symptoms are unbearable itching of the vulva, and the pain worsens after scratching. The affected skin becomes thickened and leathery, with raised and wrinkled areas, or has scaling and eczematous changes. The range of the lesions varies, mainly affecting the labia majora, interlabial groove, clitoral hood and posterior symphysis, and are mostly symmetrical.

2. Lichen sclerosus type vulvar leukoplakia: It can be seen at any age, but is more common in women around 40 years old. The main symptom is itching in the affected area, but it is generally much milder than proliferative lesions, and reproductive difficulties may occur in the late stage. The lesions involve the vulvar skin, mucous membranes, and perianal skin. In addition to the skin or mucous membranes becoming white, thin, dry and prone to cracking, and losing elasticity, the clitoris often atrophies and adheres to the foreskin, and the labia minora becomes flat and disappears. In the late stage, the skin becomes thin and wrinkled like cigarette paper, and the vaginal opening becomes contracted and narrow, only wide enough for fingertips.

3. Mixed vulvar leukoplakia: It mainly manifests as the adjacent areas of the thin vulvar whitish area, or accompanied by focal skin thickening or protrusions within its range.

The harm of vulvar leukoplakia

1. Vulvar leukoplakia is very harmful. After suffering from this disease, patients often feel unbearable itching in the vulva, as if a hole is drilled in the heart. The itching is paroxysmal, especially at night, accompanied by burning, dryness and discomfort, which seriously affects sleep.

2. The vulvar skin and mucosa turn white or light pink, the surface becomes rough and uneven, and there are cracks, ulcers, erosions, or it becomes hard and loses elasticity, which may cause difficulty in urination. The local skin and mucous membranes become thinner and swollen, and the labia majora and minora shrink or even disappear, making the vaginal opening narrower. This can cause difficulties in sexual life and may also cause difficulties in childbirth, necessitating a cesarean section.

3. In addition to local symptoms, there are also systemic symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, irritability, weakness, chest tightness, decreased appetite, insomnia, back pain, and lack of sexual desire. In severe cases, it may further develop into vulvar cancer, with a canceration rate as high as 10-50%.
