Patient's question:
I have vulvar leukoplakia for 6, 7 years. How should it be treated? Is the risk of heredity high? The spectral therapy didn't work well. What is vulvar fibrotic leukoplakia? How is vulvar leukoplakia treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, vulvar leukoplakia is also known as vulvar dystrophy. The main symptoms include vulvar itching, masturbation pain, and a burning sensation in the vulva. Specific methods for care and treatment can be adopted as follows. First, it is important to maintain vulvar cleanliness and dryness at all times. Stop using irritating medications or soaps to wash the vulva, avoid wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear, and refrain from consuming spicy or easily allergenic foods. Second, you can apply medication locally to the vulvar area. Currently, options such as testosterone propionate and progesterone are effective. For persistent itching that does not respond to topical treatment, triamcinolone suspension can be administered subcutaneously.
