Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy down there, and I even scratched it, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm really struggling with this. Could you please tell me:How is leukoplakia of the vulva treated?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the etiology of leukoplakia of the vulva is very complex and is related to factors such as intergenerational inheritance, chronic inflammatory stimulation, endocrine disorders, autoimmune metabolic decomposition disorders, and microcirculatory disorders. Infection and inflammatory stimulation are the main causes. For mild cases, testosterone propionate ointment or hydrocortisone ointment can be applied externally. Oral vitamins A, B, E, etc., can also be taken. The recurrence of leukoplakia of the vulva severely harms women's health, and patients need to pay attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness and avoiding sexual activity throughout their lives. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
