Doctor's answer:

Hello, since the cause of leukoplakia of the vulva is unclear, there is currently no specific treatment. Laser therapy can be tested, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness during daily life, avoid washing the vulva with soap or irritating drugs, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Leukoplakia of the vulva is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of care. It is recommended that patients pay more attention to preventing sexual activity during treatment and pay more attention to cleanliness. Finally, I wish female patients a quick recovery!
