Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my private area, and it even got scratched open, 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 troubled. Could you please ask:If I have leukoplakia of the vulva, where should I go for treatment?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the treatment of leukoplakia of the vulva, it is necessary to cut off the inflammation of the leukoplakia, repair vulvar skin damage, 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, and temporarily suspending sexual activity. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain vulvar cleanliness at all times and not use many market cleaning agents for washing. When itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied. Try to control yourself and avoid scratching as much as possible. Do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear.
