Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've found it very dry. Also, I often feel itchy externally. After checking, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me where I can get effective treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
A condition characterized by varying degrees of whitening or rough, swollen state of the skin and mucosa of the external genitalia due to various factors is called leukoplakia of the vulva. It can be treated with 2% hydrocortisone ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or by applying 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the external genitalia, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose-fitting, and laundry should be changed frequently. Additionally, it is advisable to wear soft cotton products. The recurrence of leukoplakia of the vulva severely affects women's health, and patients should avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay attention to personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
