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 often feel 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: what is the best way to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, may be caused by chronic injury, allergies, local endocrine and nutritional disorders, or metabolic disorders. Long-term local moisture in the vulva and irritation from vaginal secretions are also associated with this condition.Hello, based on your situation, it is generally recommended to visit the gynecology department of a local reputable hospital for follow-up treatment. Currently, cryotherapy or laser surgery is commonly considered for the treatment of vaginal leukoplakia. For patients with this condition, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Lastly, it is strongly advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
