What methods can prevent leukoplakia of the vulva?

Patient's question:

What methods can prevent leukoplakia of the vulva? When taking a bath, I found that my private parts became very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, it's really embarrassing. Is this condition leukoplakia of the vulva? Is this a big problem?

Doctor's answer:

Carefully examine leukoplakia of the vulva: multiple biopsies should be sent for pathological examination to confirm the inflammatory nature and rule out early carcinogenesis. When suspecting squamous hyperplasia of the vulva, appropriate materials should be selected. Initially, apply 1% toluidine blue to the inflamed area, wait for it to dry, and then brush it with 1% acetic acid to decolorize. In areas that do not decolorize, there are exposed nuclei, and a biopsy in these areas is more likely to reveal atypical fibrosis or even carcinogenesis. The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia severely affects women's health, and patients need to pay attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness in daily life and avoiding sexual activity. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive effective treatment.
