Patient's question:
There is a burning sensation in the private area and unbearable itching, accompanied by pain. The clitoris is atrophied and pale, suspected to be leukoplakia of the vulva. What is the treatment plan for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Treating leukoplakia of the vulva requires interrupting the inflammation of the leukoplakia, repairing vulvar skin damage, completely restoring the normal function of vulvar skin cells, stabilizing the nutritional status of microvessels and nerve endings, altering the local tissue growth environment, promoting local tissue regeneration, and gradually eliminating the leukoplakia. During the self-healing process, attention should be paid to care and management, combining treatment with care, abstaining from sexual activity, and maintaining vulvar cleanliness at all times. Avoid using some commercial cleaning agents for wiping. When itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied to suppress the urge to scratch. Do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and reduce the intake of irritating foods.
