Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling itchy down there, and I even scratched it, which is very painful and uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm really struggling with this. How should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main symptom of leukoplakia of the vulva is vulvar itching, which is primarily related to autoimmune conditions or a lack of sexual hormones. It is recommended that you apply compound vitamin A ointment and progesterone ointment locally to reduce swelling and relieve pain. If the effect is not good and it recurs repeatedly, physical therapy methods can be implemented to provide immediate relief. In daily life, avoid spicy foods that may affect it. If you have any doubts, please feel free to ask me. The recurrence of leukoplakia of the vulva severely threatens women's health. Patients need to pay attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness in daily life and avoid sexual activity. We hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
