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 tell me about the approximate cost of treating leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is mainly caused by continuous scratching and irritation due to vaginal itching, leading to hyperkeratosis and loss of pigmentation. You can first consider using a topical medication method to try. A commonly used method is a mixture of three medications: vitamin E cream + testosterone propionate + prednisone cream, applied to the affected area. If this method is ineffective, you may need to consider visiting many plastic surgery hospitals for the recurrence of vaginal leukoplakia, which severely harms women's health. Patients should pay attention not to have sexual intercourse during the treatment period and maintain good personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
