Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've found it very dry, and I've also been constantly feeling itchy externally. After checking, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me where I can get treated for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
It can be cured. The symptoms may include itching of the external genitalia, sometimes accompanied by a burning or painful sensation. The affected skin becomes rough and thickens like moss, with scratches and sometimes recurrent fissures and ulcers. Physical therapy can be used, including microwave therapy, carbon dioxide laser, helium-neon laser, BOM light, high-frequency electric knife, local electrocautery, and local cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
