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 experiencing itching in my outer labia. After a check-up, it was diagnosed as leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: what are the effective treatments for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Vulvar leukoplakia refers to various types of vulvar nutritional deficiencies. It is recommended to use Enfusone cream or vitamin A acid cream for topical treatment. Laser therapy can also be tested, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied.In daily life, it is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to wash the vulva, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose and comfortable, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is important to wear soft cotton products.
Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vulvar hygiene, with a light diet as the foundation. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery!
