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 been feeling itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not familiar with this condition, so I'd like to ask: How much does vulvar leukoplakia surgery typically cost?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area. Some patients may experience symptoms such as itching, vulvar atrophy, and reduced elasticity of the labia. Currently, there is no specific treatment for this condition. Laser therapy can be tested, or hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and pain. Prasterone fish oil ointment can also be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to clean the vulva. Do not consume spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose-fitting, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is important to wear soft cotton products.
