Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I found it very dry. Also, I often feel itchy externally. After checking, it was diagnosed as 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:
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 drugs to wash the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. During medication, sexual activity should be avoided. Vulvar leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During treatment, women need to 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!
