Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've found it very dry, and I've also been constantly feeling itchy down there. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me: How long does it take to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is considered to be vulvitis. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness, dryness, and ventilation in the perineal area, change cotton underwear frequently, and choose loose-fitting underwear. You can use potassium permanganate solution to clean the vulva or take a sit bath to reduce local friction. Antibiotics may be necessary if needed.It could also be folliculitis or inflammation of the sebaceous glands. Avoid spicy foods and follow a low-fat diet. Apply erythromycin ointment and use hot water frequently to see if it helps.
Vulvitis is an easily recurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain vulvar cleanliness, change underwear frequently, and finally, wish female patients a speedy recovery!
