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: How can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have vulvar leukoplakia, you can use 2% hydrocortisone ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain, local anesthetic anaerobic rods, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment, among others. Microwave therapy, high-frequency electrocautery, local electrocoagulation treatment, and local cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen can also be implemented.In daily life, it is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, follow a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy foods. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay attention to keeping the vulva clean at all times and change their underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
