Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I found it very dry, and I also often feel itchy externally. After checking, it was diagnosed as leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not familiar with this condition. Please ask, what treatment is needed if leukoplakia of the vulva is discovered?Doctor's answer:
The leukoplakia caused by vulvar leukoplakia can spread to the inner sides of both lower limbs, perineum, and anus, but it rarely affects the urethral orifice and vestibule. The skin in the affected area becomes rough and thickens like psoriasis, with scratches and sometimes recurrent fissures and ulcers. It can interfere with urination and sexual life, causing great pain for women. Maintain cleanliness, use medication uniformly, and avoid using soap or other irritating drugs for washing; prevent scratching when itching is severe. Underwear should be made of soft, highly absorbent cotton fabric and should be loose, comfortable, and changed frequently. In terms of diet, it is important to avoid spicy foods and alcoholic beverages with irritating properties.
