Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've found it very dry, and I've also been constantly feeling itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: what is the best way to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the external female genitalia, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus but rarely affect the urethral opening or vestibule. The clinical characteristics of this condition include: severe itching of the external genitalia, sometimes accompanied by a burning or painful sensation. The affected skin becomes rough and thickens like psoriasis, with scratches and occasional recurrence of cracks and ulcers. It directly affects urination and sexual activity, with the level of suffering being indescribable.The traditional treatments for this condition include the following:
1. Medication: After washing the external genitalia with a Ph4 weak acid-formulated feminine care liquid, topical hormone medications, local anesthetic anaerobic rods, and traditional Chinese medicine treatments are applied.
