What methods are better for treating vulvar leukoplakia?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What methods are used to treat leukoplakia of the external genitalia?

Doctor's answer:

Vulvar leukoplakia currently has an unclear etiology, mainly including two types: vulvar squamous epithelial hyperplasia and vulvar lichen sclerosus. Due to the unclear cause of the disease, treatment is relatively difficult and prone to recurrence. Current treatment is primarily based on suppressing local itching and alleviating symptoms, with no definitive cure available.
In daily life, it is important to maintain vulvar cleanliness, avoid spicy and irritating foods, limit alcohol consumption, and avoid using soaps or detergents to clean the vulva. Wear loose-fitting underwear that is comfortable and breathable. Relax and avoid excessive stress, and then medication treatment will improve.
The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia severely threatens women's health. Patients need to pay attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness and avoiding sexual activity in daily life. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
