Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color is a bit different, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I'd like to ask: What are some good methods for treating leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
It is not recommended for patients to treat leukoplakia of the vulva with medication. Medication cannot alleviate leukoplakia, it can only temporarily relieve the pain, and it may also lead to drug dependence in patients, which is not beneficial for the treatment of the disease. Pay attention to nursing and management, combine treatment and care, temporarily suspend sexual activity, and maintain the cleanliness of the vulva at all times. Avoid using many cleaning agents on the market. When itching is severe, you can apply a protective ointment. Try to control yourself and avoid scratching as much as possible. Do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and eat less irritating foods. The recurrence of leukoplakia of the vulva severely threatens women's health. During the treatment period, patients should avoid sexual activity and pay attention to personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
