How long can women with leukoplakia of the external genitalia live?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar lichen sclerosus, primarily manifests as thinning and swelling of the skin around the vulva and anus, accompanied by pain. In the early stages of inflammation, pink or white papules may appear, which further progress to white, thin, dry, and easily cracked skin and mucosa. The labia minora may enlarge, thin, fuse with the labia majora, or even disappear. In the late stages, the skin becomes extremely thin, leading to scarring and narrowing of the vaginal opening. The treatment for vulvar leukoplakia often involves the combined use of testosterone propionate and progesterone, along with petroleum jelly ointment applied to the affected area, which tends to be effective. For severe itching, hormone creams may be used in conjunction. Vulvar leukoplakia causes pain due to itching but will never be life-threatening. It is recommended to avoid stress. For the specific cost of the three-dimensional targeted new therapy, please consult the relevant hospital in your area. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur.
