Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, it's really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: How can vulvar leukoplakia improve?Doctor's answer:
A condition characterized by varying degrees of paleness or rough, swollen state of the skin and mucosa of the external genitalia due to various factors is called leukoplakia of the vulva. Hydrocortisone ointment 2% can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or testosterone propionate fish oil ointment 2% can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the external genitalia, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose-fitting, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is important to wear soft cotton products. Leukoplakia of the vulva is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
