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 very familiar with this condition. Could you please advise on the best way to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to various types of vaginal malnutrition. It is recommended to use Enfusone cream or vitamin A acid cream for topical treatment. Laser therapy can also be tested, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver 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 external genitalia. Do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose and comfortable, and underwear should be changed frequently. At the same time, pay attention to wearing soft cotton products.
Vaginal leukoplakia is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
