Patient's question:
How can the treatment for leukoplakia of the external genitalia be more effective? I haven't gotten married yet, and recently during a physical examination, I was told I have leukoplakia of the external genitalia. Is this condition serious? Will it affect my future ability to get pregnant? What do I need to do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the treatment of leukoplakia of the vulva, it is necessary to cut off the inflammation of the leukoplakia, repair vulvar skin damage, completely restore the normal function of vulvar skin tissue cells, stabilize the nutritional status of its microvessels and nerve endings, change the local tissue growth environment, promote the regeneration of local tissues, and gradually completely eliminate the leukoplakia. During the healing process, attention should be paid to nursing and management, combining treatment and care, and temporarily suspending sexual activity. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain vulvar cleanliness at all times and avoid using some market preparations for washing. When itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied. Try to control yourself and avoid scratching as much as possible. Do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and eat less irritating foods!
