Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy down there, and I even scratched it, 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 troubled. Could you please tell me what causes leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to various types of vaginal malnutrition. It is recommended to use Enfusone cream or vitamin A acid cream for treatment. Laser therapy can be tested, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness during daily life, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to wash the external genitalia, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose and comfortable, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to wearing soft cotton products. The recurrence of vaginal leukoplakia severely affects women's health, and patients need to pay attention to maintaining cleanliness of the external genitalia in daily life and avoid sexual activity. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive standardized treatment.
