How to treat leukoplakia of the vulva better

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How can vulvar leukoplakia be treated most effectively?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, to treat leukoplakia of the vulva, first, it is important to maintain the vulva clean and dry at all times. Stop using medications or soaps with strong irritants to wash the vulva, avoid wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear, and do not eat spicy or easily allergenic foods.
Second, you can choose to apply medication locally to the vulva. Currently, options like testosterone propionate and progesterone are effective. For persistent itching that does not respond to topical treatment, triamcinolone acetonide suspension can be injected subcutaneously.
Recommendation: For severe cases or when medication treatment is ineffective, vulvar magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound or superficial vulvectomy may be considered.
All the above methods can help treat leukoplakia of the vulva and stabilize symptoms. You can give them a try. Wishing you good health.
Leukoplakia of the vulva is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur.
