What are some good methods for treating leukoplakia of the vulva?

Patient's question:

When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, it's really embarrassing. Is my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: What are some good methods for treating vulvar leukoplakia?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal leukoplakia is mainly caused by increased resistance in the vagina due to malnutrition, and some cases are influenced by long-term effects of gynecological inflammation on the vagina. It is recommended to actively treat it with 0.5-1% testosterone propionate ointment or 0.45% hydrocortisone ointment for topical application. Pay attention to hygiene, avoid spicy foods, and undergo follow-up examinations. If necessary, laser treatment in a hospital is advised. For patients with vaginal leukoplakia, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to focus on self-care training, such as paying attention to private hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, women patients are reminded to have regular follow-up examinations!
