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 experiencing itching in my outer labia. After a check-up, it was diagnosed as leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: what are the effective methods for treating leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to various types of vaginal nutritional deficiencies. It is recommended to use Enfusione cream or vitamin A acid cream for treatment. Laser therapy can be tested, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Alternatively, 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to wash the vagina, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose and comfortable, with frequent changes of clothing. At the same time, it is necessary to wear soft cotton products. The recurrence of vaginal leukoplakia severely threatens women's health. Patients need to pay attention to postmenstrual follow-up in daily life, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
