Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my private area, and it even got scratched open, 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: How should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia, it is necessary to interrupt the inflammation of the leukoplakia, repair vulvar skin damage, relieve and restore the normal function of vulvar skin tissue cells, stabilize the nutritional status of its microvessels and nerve endings, change the local tissue growth environment, promote the regeneration of local tissues, gradually relieve and eliminate the leukoplakia. During the relief process, attention should be paid to nursing and management, combining treatment and care, temporarily suspending sexual activity, and maintaining constant vulvar cleanliness. Avoid using many market-available cleaning agents for wiping. When itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied to suppress the urge to scratch as much as possible. Do not wear tight or low-permeability synthetic underwear, and eat less irritating foods.
