Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy down there, and it seems the color has changed too, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm asking: What's the best way to treat leukoplakia of the vulva when it's discovered?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Vulvar leukoplakia may be related to systemic factors, such as diabetes, endocrine disorders, dampness, heat, etc., which can lead to vulvar leukoplakia. Hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or testosterone fish oil ointment can be applied.In daily life, it is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. During medication, sexual activity should be avoided. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During treatment, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vulvar hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
