Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've found it quite dry. Also, I often feel itchy outside my vulva. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: What is the best way to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is a general term, and the specific treatment plan needs to be confirmed based on the results of a thorough examination. It involves determining whether there is an inflammatory or fibrotic manifestation, followed by symptomatic treatment. The treatment process can be quite challenging. If the examination confirms leukoplakia, timely symptomatic treatment is necessary. Topical medications can be used, and dietary precautions should be observed, avoiding spicy foods. If itching is severe, avoid scratching and use a lotion to alleviate the symptoms. Vaginal leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During treatment, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
