Is it easy to treat vulvar leukoplakia?

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 always felt itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not familiar with this condition. Can you please tell me: Is it easy to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for the treatment of leukoplakia of the vulva, it is necessary to cut off the inflammation of the leukoplakia, repair the vulvar skin lesions, 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 self-healing process, attention should be paid to nursing and management, combining treatment and care, temporarily suspending sexual activity, and maintaining vulvar cleanliness at all times. Do not use many market preparations for washing, and when itching is severe, protective ointments can be applied. Try to control yourself and avoid scratching as much as possible. Do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and eat less irritating foods. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily occurring gynecological disease.
