Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time. Especially during work, it's really embarrassing. Is my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: How much does vulvar leukoplakia treatment cost?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to differentiate between vulvar vitiligo and vulvar leukoplakia. If it is vitiligo, it is often accompanied by other areas of depigmentation. If vulvar leukoplakia is diagnosed, treatment is required. A biopsy is recommended. If abnormal moderate to severe dysplasia is found, or if ulcers and fissures do not heal with non-surgical treatment, surgery may be considered. For mild inflammation, laser treatment or careful observation with follow-up may be appropriate. For vulvar leukoplakia patients, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, it is advised to female patients to have regular follow-up examinations!
