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: What should be the treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if there are no symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia, it generally does not need to be addressed. The common symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are vulvar itching, atrophy and whitening of the vulvar skin. The treatment for vulvar leukoplakia primarily involves applying topical creams to relieve itching symptoms. During daily life, pay attention to wearing pure cotton, loose underwear, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not use irritating soaps or medications to wash the vulva. For patients with vulvar leukoplakia, in addition to timely treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
