How should vulvar leukoplakia be treated?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How should vulvar leukoplakia be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Vulvar leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus, but rarely affects the urethral opening or the vestibule. The clinical diagnostic features of this condition include: severe itching of the vulva, sometimes accompanied by a burning or painful sensation. The affected skin becomes rough and thickens like parchment, with scratches and sometimes recurrent fissures or ulcers. It directly impacts urination and sexual activity, with the level of suffering being indescribable.
