Patient's question:
During my junior year, I developed leukoplakia of the vulva. At the time, I didn't feel much, just a slight itch. The leukoplakia near the vulva has become severe now, sometimes to the point where the itching keeps me awake at night. Has anyone been treated for leukoplakia of the vulva? Can it be treated without prior treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is an immune system disease. Simple medication treatment only alleviates symptoms and often fails to cure it. It can interfere with sexual life, exacerbate pain, and in severe cases, lead to swelling and inflammation. Since you already have swelling, it is recommended to undergo a biopsy to rule out the possibility of inflammation and start active treatment. Currently, there are advanced minimally invasive methods for treating leukoplakia of the vulva. I wish you good health.For patients with leukoplakia of the vulva, in addition to taking medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, pay close attention to hygiene in the private area, and avoid sexual activity during medication. It is also important to remind female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
