Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and lately, I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, which is really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: Can vulvar leukoplakia be relieved? Where can I buy medicine?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is also known as vulvar white lesions, vulvar dystrophy, or vulvar nutritional disorders. This condition is not contagious but can be inherited across generations. The affected area can cover the entire vulva, perineum, and perianal region.Treatment:
1) Maintain vulvar skin cleanliness and dryness. Avoid using soap or other irritating medications to scrub the area. Prevent scratching the affected area with hands or instruments.
2) Local microwave treatment, primarily aimed at suppressing local itching.
3) Surgical treatment; in general, pure vulvectomy combined with laser therapy is a common approach for vulvar leukoplakia.
During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended to avoid sexual activity and maintain cleanliness during treatment. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
