Patient's question:
Got vulvar leukoplakia for almost a month. Thought it would be cured in a few days, but it hasn't been cured yet. Don't know what the misunderstandings in the treatment are. What are the misunderstandings in the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
What needs to be paid attention to is the distinction between vulvar vitiligo and vulvar leukoplakia. If it is vitiligo, it is usually accompanied by other areas of leukoplakia. If vulvar leukoplakia is diagnosed, treatment is required. It is recommended to perform a biopsy. If abnormal moderate to severe dysplasia is found, or if ulcers and cracks do not heal with non-surgical treatment, surgery can be considered. For mild inflammation, laser treatment can be performed, or careful observation and follow-up can be conducted without immediate intervention. There are many treatment methods for vulvar leukoplakia, but since the patient's condition varies, different treatment methods are adopted. Therefore, patients need to be examined and diagnosed promptly to receive symptomatic treatment.
