Patient's question:
Recently, I've always felt itchy in my private area, and it even got scratched open, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm really struggling with this. Could you please tell me how to treat leukoplakia of the vulva effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the treatment of 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. During the recovery process, attention should be paid to nursing and management, combining treatment and care, temporarily stopping sexual activity, and maintaining vulvar cleanliness at all times. Do not use some market cleaning agents to rub, and when itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied. Try to control yourself and avoid scratching, do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and eat less irritating foods. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care.
