How should vulvar leukoplakia be treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling itchy down there, and I even scratched it, 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: What is the best way to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment methods for vulvar leukoplakia vary from person to person. Depending on individual physical conditions, the treatment approaches differ. Surgical excision causes significant physical harm to patients and involves extensive skin abrasion. Vulvar leukoplakia is a notoriously difficult-to-heal and recurrent condition, earning it the clinical diagnosis of a persistent problem. Traditional treatment methods such as topical medications, laser, BOM and microwave therapy are effective only on the superficial layer of the skin. While they can alleviate itching, the effects are not long-lasting, and the condition is prone to recurrence, often making it difficult to fully resolve. Surgical excision causes significant physical harm to patients and involves extensive skin abrasion.
Hospital 309, with its strong capabilities, pioneered the Hujixing minimally invasive technique, breaking the traditional model with an internal-to-external treatment approach.
