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 a check-up, they said it's 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:
Vulvar leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus but rarely affects the urethral meatus or vestibule. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and burning sensation.1. Medication Treatment: After washing the vulva with a Ph4 weak acid female care solution, topical hormone medications, local anesthetic anaerobic rods, and traditional Chinese medicine treatments are applied.
2. Physical Therapy: Treatments include microwave therapy, carbon dioxide laser, helium-neon laser, BOM light, high-frequency electric knife, local electrocautery, and local cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen.
