Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy down there, and I even scratched it, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm really struggling with this. Could you please tell me: How should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated in its early stages?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to various types of vaginal malnutrition. It is recommended to use Enfusone cream or vitamin A acid cream for topical treatment. Laser therapy can also be tested, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness during daily life. Avoid using soap or irritating drugs to wash the external genitalia, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose and comfortable, and underwear should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to wearing soft cotton products. Vaginal leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of care. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining vaginal cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery!
