Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color is a bit different, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm asking: What are the effective methods to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is a type of vaginal nutritional deficiency. In clinical diagnosis, it is also known as non-neoplastic intraepithelial inflammation of the vulva. Its clinical diagnostic features include itching, stinging, or burning of the vulva. When the vulva atrophies, it can lead to difficulty or pain during masturbation. Many types of vulvitis, such as leukoplakia, leukoplakic vulvitis, vulvar xerosis, lichen sclerosus, hypertrophic vulvitis, and neurodermatitis, all fall under this category. It is recommended to use Enfusone cream or vitamin A acid cream externally for treatment. Laser therapy can also be tested. Hydrocortisone 2% ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Alternatively, 2% testosterone propionate fish oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness in daily life. Avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the area. Do not consume spicy or irritating foods. Wear loose clothing and change your underwear frequently.
