Patient's question:
What diseases can cause vulvar atrophy? In addition to atrophy, it may also be accompanied by itching and leukoplakia. How can vulvar atrophy be treated quickly?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the swelling of the skin in the vulvar area due to vulvar lichen sclerosus is similar to that of other parts of the body's skin, showing expansion of the vulvar tissue including all layers of the skin and the subcutaneous fat layer. It is recommended that you use testosterone propionate, diethylstilbestrol, cod liver oil drops, vitamin E, and vitamin B1 mixed together for topical application, along with clobetasol propionate cream for topical use. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the vulvar skin at all times, and avoid using soap or other irritating medications to scrub the area. Prevent scratching the affected area with your hands or instruments. In addition to medication treatment for vulvar atrophy, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a happy mood.
