Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I've also always felt itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me what treatment options are available for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it is vulvar leukoplakia. Currently, the main treatment for vulvar leukoplakia involves the use of hormone-based medications for symptomatic treatment. The medication is a prescription drug and must be administered under the guidance of a doctor in the outpatient department. If the treatment effect is not satisfactory, laser or cryotherapy may be used for symptomatic resolution. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
