How should vulvar leukoplakia be treated?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. If I have leukoplakia of the external genitalia, what treatment should I follow?

Doctor's answer:

During daily life and treatment, it is important to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the external genital skin. Avoid consuming allergenic and spicy foods, alcohol, and do not frequently use soap, cleansers, or medications to wash the external genital area. Also, avoid wearing tight or breathable underwear.
It is recommended that the treatment for leukoplakia of the external genitalia can be performed using hydrocortisone ointment. If medication is ineffective, physical therapy or surgical treatment can be considered.
In daily life, focus on enhancing nutrition and maintaining a relaxed mood. Leukoplakia of the external genitalia is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to external genital hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
