Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my private area, and it even got scratched open, 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 ask: Where is the best place to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia 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 vulva, 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. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women should pay close attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay extra attention to vulvar hygiene, with a light diet as the foundation. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
