Patient's question:
What are the common misconceptions about treating leukoplakia of the vulva? While showering, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and lately, I've been feeling itchy, especially when I'm at work, which is really embarrassing. Is my condition leukoplakia? Is it a big problem?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are itching and burning pain. This condition cannot be cured and requires repeated treatment. Pay attention to vulvar hygiene, keeping the vulva dry and clean, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and not using irritating cleansers to wash the vulva. At the same time, medication should be used, such as progesterone ointment, cod liver oil, etc. If the itching is severe, oral antihistamines can be taken. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay more attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
