Patient's question:
I am not married yet. Recently, I went for a physical examination and was told that I have leukoplakia of the vulva. Is this condition serious? Will it affect my future ability to get pregnant? Please ask: Where can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is a type of vulvar dystrophy. In clinical diagnosis, it is also referred to as non-neoplastic vulvar inflammation. Its clinical diagnostic features include itching, stinging, or burning sensation in the vulva. When the vulva is atrophic, it may cause difficulty or pain during masturbation. Many vulvar inflammatory conditions, such as leukoplakia, leukoplakic vulvar, vulvar xerosis, lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, hypertrophic vulvar, and neurodermatitis, fall into this category. It is recommended to use Enfusone cream or vitamin A acid cream for treatment. Laser therapy can also be tested. Alternatively, 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and pain. 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can also be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness. Avoid using soap or irritating medications to clean the vulva. Do not consume spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose-fitting, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is important to wear soft cotton products.
