Patient's question:
I am not married yet. Recently, I went for a physical examination and was told that I have leukoplakia of the vulva. Is this disease serious? Will it affect my future pregnancy? What are the best treatments for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, when treating leukoplakia of the vulva, avoid sexual activity and maintain good hygiene of the vulva at all times. If the itching is severe, follow the doctor's advice to apply ointment. The treatment mainly aims to cut off the inflammation of leukoplakia, repair vulvar skin damage, completely restore the normal function of vulvar skin cells, stabilize the nutritional status of microvessels and nerve endings, change the local tissue growth environment, and promote the regeneration of local tissues. Do not pull with your hands; topical medication can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Chinese medicine regulation, acupoint laser irradiation, cryotherapy, etc., can also be considered. For older individuals with particularly severe cases, surgical excision may be an option. In daily life, consume more foods rich in vitamins A, B, and E.
