Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy down there, and I even scratched it, 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 struggling with this. Could you please ask: What methods are effective for treating leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatments for chronic dermatitis, Lichen Sclerosus, and vulvar leukoplakia are basically the same. If there is severe itching in the inflamed area, you can use decocted Chinese herbal medicine to steam and wash the vulvar area once or twice a day, then dry it, and apply a 2% compound testosterone cream (this medication can be prepared by the patient under the guidance of a doctor) to the affected skin by gently rubbing it in with fingers. You can also take vitamin A orally, 250,000 to 500,000 units per day, and vitamin B6, 100 milligrams per day. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
