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 checking, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: What are the main treatment methods for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is a gynecological disease that results in white, rough, thickened, hardened, cracked, scaly, or reduced elasticity of the vulvar skin and mucous membranes due to local loss of pigment in the vulvar skin of women. Leukoplakia of the vulva can be treated with 2% hydrocortisone ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or with 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. For patients with leukoplakia of the vulva, in addition to taking medication, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care.
