Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color has changed too, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. Could you please ask: How is leukoplakia of the vulva specifically treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to various types of vaginal nutritional deficiencies. It is recommended to use Enfusone cream or vitamin A acid cream for topical treatment. Laser therapy can also be tested, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness during the day. Avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the external genitalia, and do not consume spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose-fitting, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is important to wear soft cotton products. Vaginal 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 pay close attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
