Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and lately, I've been feeling itchy all the time. Especially during work, it's really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: How can vulvar leukoplakia be resolved to improve?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if diagnosed with leukoplakia of the vulva, it is recommended to actively treat it, as the combination of Chinese and Western medicine yields better results.Chinese Medicine Treatment: The method should focus on nourishing blood, promoting blood circulation, and dispelling blood stasis. Herbal decoctions such as Huoxue San () can be used. Locally, decoctions of herbs like snakeroot (), white musk tree bark (), Sophora flavescens (), and mugwort () can be used for steaming and washing.
Western Medicine Treatment: Regular follow-up examinations are necessary, and attention should be paid to the risk of malignancy. Maintain vulvar hygiene and explore the underlying causes. Vitamin A levels should be tested. Topical corticosteroid creams and estrogen creams can also be applied locally.
The recurrence of leukoplakia of the vulva severely threatens women's health. Patients must refrain from sexual activity during treatment and maintain good personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
