Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I found it very dry, and I often feel itchy outside. After checking, it was said to be leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not familiar with this disease. Please ask: How should the treatment be after suffering from leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus but rarely affect the urethral opening or vestibule. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, and even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and a burning sensation.Treatment: After washing the vulva with a Ph4 weak acid formula female care liquid, topical hormone medications, local anesthetics, and treatment with anaerobic bacteria and traditional Chinese medicine are applied. For vulvar leukoplakia patients, in addition to medication, it is essential to prioritize self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Finally, female patients are advised to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
