Patient's question:
I am not married yet. Recently, after a physical examination, I was told that I have leukoplakia of the vulva. Is this condition serious? Will it affect my future pregnancy? How should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the analysis of your condition, the following may reappear:Treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva can involve taking vitamin supplements. If the itching is severe and interferes with deep sleep, you may take some sedative medications. Locally, you can apply 1% hydrocortisone and 1–2% testosterone cream. This treatment can be maintained for 6–8 weeks, with 3–4 applications per day.
While maintaining long-term treatment, it is also essential to keep the vulva clean and dry, avoid wearing tight underwear, and avoid synthetic underwear with poor breathability. Additionally, reducing the intake of easily allergenic foods is very important.
The symptoms of leukoplakia of the vulva manifest as: intense itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, and even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and a burning sensation. Patients often experience unbearable itching in the vulva, feeling as if it is piercing deep into the body.
