Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy down there, and it seems the color has changed too, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'd like to ask: How should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia, if it is not moderate or above atypical fibrosis, you can use 0.5-1% testosterone propionate ointment or 0.45% hydrocortisone ointment for topical application, or use 5 mg prednisone acetate mixed with 20 ml of 0.25% procaine for basal isolation in the affected area, once a week, 10 times per course. Take vitamins A, B, E, etc. Chinese herbal medicines such as honeysuckle, clematis, Sophora flavescens, Epimedium, Dendrobium candidum, and Tribulus terrestris can be decocted for internal consumption and external washing, as well as acupoint laser irradiation. Cryotherapy can be used for moderate and severe atypical fibrosis, or for older patients who do not respond to the above treatments. Vulvar surgery may be considered. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease, and during medication.
