Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and lately, I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, it's really embarrassing. Is this condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: If I have vulvar leukoplakia with severe atrophy, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, vulvar leukoplakia manifests in two forms: and squamous epithelial cell fibrosis. Among them, the type exhibits white vulvar color and vulvar atrophy. However, because the cause is unclear, there is currently no method to alleviate it. The only approach is symptomatic treatment, suggesting the local application of a mixture of vitamin E and petroleum jelly cream. Most third-tier hospitals have their own formulated creams. Local vulvar phototherapy can also be used for treatment. For vulvar leukoplakia patients, in addition to symptomatic medication, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, female patients are advised to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
