Patient's question:
I am not married yet. Recently, after a physical examination, I was told that I have leukoplakia of the vulva. Is this disease serious? Will it affect my future pregnancy? Please ask: Where are the good hospitals for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia, if not moderate or severe atypical fibrosis, 0.5-1% testosterone propionate cream or 0.45% hydrocortisone cream can be applied externally. Alternatively, 5 mg prednisone acetate mixed with 20 mL of 0.25% procaine can be used to isolate the base of the affected area once a week, with 10 treatments constituting one course. Oral vitamin A, B, E, and Chinese herbal medicines such as honeysuckle, cinnabar fruit, Sophora flavescens, Epimedium, white peony root, covered seed, and white thorn should also be taken orally and used for external washing. Additionally, acupoint laser irradiation and cryotherapy can be considered for moderate and severe atypical fibrosis or in older patients who do not respond to the aforementioned treatments. In such cases, surgical excision of the vulva may be an option.
