Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I've also always felt itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: What is the best way to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genitalia, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus but rarely affects the urethral meatus or vestibule. The clinical characteristics of this condition include: severe itching of the vulva, sometimes accompanied by a burning or painful sensation. The affected skin becomes rough and thickens like psoriasis, with scratches and sometimes recurrent fissures and ulcers. It directly affects urination and sexual activity, with the level of suffering being indescribable.The traditional treatments for this condition include the following:
1. Medication: After washing the vulva with a Ph4 weak acid-formulated feminine care liquid, topical hormone medications, local anesthetic clostridium perfringens, and traditional Chinese medicine treatments are applied.
