Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my private area, and I even scratched it, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. It's really distressing. I was wondering: How should one manage leukoplakia of the vulva?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 tissue cells, stabilize the nutritional status of its microvessels and nerve endings, change the local tissue growth environment, promote the regeneration of local tissues, and gradually completely eliminate the leukoplakia. During the self-healing process, attention should be paid to nursing and management, combining treatment and care, temporarily suspending sexual activity, and maintaining vulvar cleanliness at all times. Do not use many market preparations for washing, and when itching is severe, protective ointments can be applied. Try to control yourself not to scratch, do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and eat less irritating food, etc.
