After discovering vulvar leukoplakia, how should it be treated effectively?

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 constantly feeling itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: what should I do to treat leukoplakia of the vulva effectively?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if there are no symptoms of leukoplakia of the vulva, it generally does not need to be addressed. The common symptoms of leukoplakia of the vulva are vulvar itching and atrophy and whitening of the vulvar skin. The treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva primarily involves applying topical creams to relieve itching symptoms. During daily life, it is important to wear pure cotton, loose underwear, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not use irritating soaps or medications to wash the vulva. For patients with leukoplakia of the vulva, in addition to taking medication, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying close attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
