Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling itchy in my private area, and I even scratched it, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm really troubled. Could you please ask: What treatment is needed for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
The leukoplakia caused by vulvar leukoplakia can spread to the inner sides of both lower limbs, the perineum, and the anus, but it rarely affects the urethral meatus or the front. The skin in the affected area becomes rough and thickens like moss, with scratches and sometimes recurrent cracks and ulcers. It affects urination and sexual life, causing severe pain for women. Maintain cleanliness, use medication uniformly, and avoid using soap or other irritating drugs for washing; if itching is severe, prevent scratching. Pants should be made of loose, absorbent cotton fabric, and should be wide and comfortable, washed frequently. In terms of diet, pay attention to avoiding spicy foods and alcoholic beverages with irritating properties. If you suffer from this disease, seek active treatment promptly, do not hesitate to consult a doctor, and do not become overly anxious, comparing chronic vulvar malnutrition to cancer.
