Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color has changed too, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm asking: How can the treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva be more effective?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is a localized or diffuse white patch that reappears on the skin of a woman's vulva. Leukoplakia of the vulva must be treated for a long period of time, with follow-up visits every 3 to 6 months being ideal. With persistent treatment, a relatively satisfactory effect can generally be achieved. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that leukoplakia of the vulva is often caused by insufficient function of the liver, spleen, and kidneys, as well as functional imbalances among them, disharmony of qi and blood, stagnation of meridians, endocrine disorders, and poor nourishment of the skin. It is recommended that Chinese herbal medicine, compared to Western medicine, has the characteristics of broad-spectrum effects, fewer side effects, and is suitable for long-term oral administration. For patients with leukoplakia of the vulva, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to personal care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean at all times. Finally, women patients are advised to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
