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:Is there a treatment method for leukoplakia of the vulva?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have vulvar leukoplakia, you can use 2% hydrocortisone ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain, local anesthetic anaerobic rods, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment, among others. You can also undergo microwave therapy, high-frequency electrocautery, local electrocoagulation treatment, and cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, among others.In daily life, it is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, follow a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy foods. For patients with vulvar leukoplakia, in addition to timely treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying close attention to private hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
