Patient's question:
Itching in the external genital area is unbearable, and the itching becomes even worse before going to sleep at night. It particularly affects rest and work. How much does it cost to treat leukoplakia of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar lichen sclerosus, primarily manifests as thinning and swelling of the skin around the vulva and anus, accompanied by pain. In the early stages of inflammation, pink or white papules may appear. As it progresses, the skin and mucosa may become white, thin, dry, and prone to cracking. The labia minora may enlarge, thin, and fuse with the labia majora, even disappearing in severe cases. In the late stage, the skin becomes extremely thin, leading to scarring and narrowing of the vaginal opening.Treatment for vulvar leukoplakia often involves the combined use of testosterone propionate and progesterone, along with petroleum jelly ointment applied to the affected area, which tends to be effective. For severe itching, hormone creams are recommended. While vulvar leukoplakia can cause pain due to itching, it is not life-threatening. It is advised to avoid excessive stress.
