Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've found it very dry, and I've also been feeling 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: How can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated more effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can try doing the vaginal tightening exercise.Lying Exercise: Place your buttocks at the edge of the bed and lie face down. Lift your legs straight up, keeping them off the ground. Hold onto the edge of the bed with both hands to prevent sliding. Close your legs and slowly raise them upward, extending your knees until your upper body comes closer to the bed. When your legs are raised above your body, use your hands to hold them and bring them closer to your abdomen. Keep your legs straight throughout, then slowly lower them back to the starting position. Repeat this 6 times, with a duration of 10–15 minutes per session. Do this once a day.
For patients with leukoplakia of the external genitalia, in addition to medication for relief, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training. For example, maintain cleanliness, avoid sexual activity, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods.
