Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my private area, and it 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 treatments, among others. You can also undergo microwave therapy, high-frequency electrocautery, local electrocoagulation therapy, and liquid nitrogen local cryotherapy, among others. It is important to pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and dryness, eating a light diet, consuming more fresh vegetables and fruits, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding spicy foods. For vulvar leukoplakia patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying attention to private hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is recommended that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
