Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. How can vulvar leukoplakia be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus but rarely affect the urethral opening or vestibule. Vulvar leukoplakia can be treated with 2% hydrocortisone ointment to reduce swelling and pain, or with 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to clean the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose-fitting, and laundry should be changed frequently. Additionally, it is advisable to wear soft cotton underwear. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay attention to vulvar hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
