Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I've also always felt 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 to recover more quickly?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to various types of vaginal nutritional deficiencies. It is recommended to use Enfusone cream or vitamin A acid cream for topical treatment. Laser therapy can also be tested, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness during daily life, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to wash the external genitalia, and avoid eating spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose and comfortable, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is important to wear soft cotton products. Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay more attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
