Patient's question:
There is a burning sensation in the private area and unbearable itching, accompanied by pain. The clitoris has shrunk and turned white, suspected to be leukoplakia of the vulva. How can leukoplakia of the vulva be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is usually caused by the body's autoimmune response or a lack of sexual hormones. Hydrocortisone ointment can be applied externally for treatment. It is important to maintain personal hygiene and keep the vaginal area clean and dry. Avoid spicy and irritating foods as much as possible, which will help with recovery. It is recommended to get a definitive diagnosis to treat the condition effectively, potentially using hormone medication. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
