Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color is a bit different, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I'd like to ask: How should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated? What medication should be used? Is traditional Chinese medicine better or Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
Hello, to treat 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. You should pay attention to nursing and management, combine treatment and care, temporarily stop sexual activity, and at the same time maintain vulvar cleanliness at all times. When itching is severe, you can apply a protective ointment. Try to restrain yourself from scratching as much as possible, do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and eat less irritating foods.
