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 much does it generally cost to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area. Some patients may experience symptoms such as itching, vulvar atrophy, and reduced elasticity of the labia. For the treatment of leukoplakia, follow medical advice and apply testosterone propionate cream or hydrocortisone cream externally. Alternatively, use prednisone acetate and procaine to isolate the base of the affected area. Oral vitamins A, B, and E can also be taken. Chinese herbal medicines such as honeysuckle, cinnabar, Sophora flavescens, Epimedium, bai xian pi, and bai ju li can be decocted for internal consumption and external application. For older patients who do not respond to the above treatments, vulvar surgery may be considered for excision.
