How should vulvar leukoplakia be treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy down there, and it seems the color has changed too—it's a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm wondering: How should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for the treatment of leukoplakia of the vulva, it is necessary to cut off the inflammation of the leukoplakia, repair vulvar skin damage, completely restore the normal function of vulvar skin cells, stabilize the nutritional status of microvessels and nerve endings, change the local tissue growth environment, promote the regeneration of local tissues, and gradually completely eliminate the leukoplakia.
During the healing process, attention should be paid to nursing and management, combining treatment with care. Sexual activity should be temporarily suspended, and the vulva should always be kept clean. Avoid using some commercial cleaning agents for wiping. When itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied. Try to control yourself and avoid scratching as much as possible. Do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and eat less irritating foods. Wishing you good health.
