Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy down there, and I even scratched it, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm really troubled. Could you please tell me:How can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is mainly caused by continuous scratching and irritation due to vaginal itching, leading to keratinization and loss of pigmentation. You can first consider using a topical medication method to try. A commonly used method involves mixing three medications—Vitamin E cream, testosterone propionate, and prednisone cream—and applying them to the affected area. If this method is ineffective, you may need to consider visiting many plastic surgery hospitals. Vaginal leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
