Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy down there, and it seems the color has changed too, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's vulvar leukoplakia. I'm asking: where are the hospitals that treat vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is a type of vaginal dystrophy. In clinical diagnosis, it is also known as non-neoplastic intraepithelial inflammation of the vagina. Its clinical diagnostic features include itching, stinging, or burning sensation in the vagina. When the vagina atrophies, it can lead to difficulty or pain during intercourse. Many vaginal inflammatory conditions, such as leukoplakia, leukoplakic vulvitis, vaginal xerosis, lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, hypertrophic vulvitis, and neurodermatitis, fall into this category. It is recommended to use Enfusone cream or vitamin A acid cream for treatment. Laser therapy can also be tested. Alternatively, 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and pain. 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can also be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness. Avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the vagina. Do not consume spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose-fitting, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is important to wear soft cotton products.
