Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've found it very dry, and I've also been constantly feeling itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: How can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva refers to various types of vulvar nutritional deficiencies. It is recommended to use Enfusone cream or vitamin A acid cream for topical treatment. Laser therapy can also 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 medications, and do not consume spicy or irritating foods. Wear loose-fitting clothing, change laundry frequently, and pay attention to wearing soft cotton clothing.
For patients with leukoplakia of the vulva, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to personal care. For example, during treatment, maintain hygiene and keep the private area clean. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
