Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my private area, and it even got scratched open, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. It's really distressing. I'm asking: How can I prevent leukoplakia of the vulva at work?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal 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 affect the urethral opening or vestibule. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, even shrinkage and ulceration, accompanied by pain and burning sensation: 1. Medication treatment: After washing the vulva with a Ph4 weak acid formula female care liquid, topical application of hormone drugs, local anesthetic treatment for anaerobic bacteria, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment are used. 2. Physical treatment: Microwave therapy, carbon dioxide laser, helium-neon laser, BOM light, high-frequency electric knife, local electrocautery, and local cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, among others.
