Patient's question:
What are the methods for treating vulvar leukoplakia? Is there any way to solve it? It has been troubling me for a long time, and it makes me feel uncomfortable. I am looking for a solution.Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is a type of vulvar dystrophy. In clinical diagnosis, it is also known as non-neoplastic vulvar inflammation. Its clinical diagnostic features include itching, pruritus, or burning sensation of the vulva. When the vulva is atrophic, it may lead to sexual difficulties and dyspareunia. Many vulvar inflammatory conditions, such as leukoplakia, leukoplakic vulvitis, vulvar xerosis, lichen sclerosus, hypertrophic vulvitis, and neurodermatitis, fall into this category. It is recommended to use betamethasone valerate ointment or vitamin A acid cream externally for treatment. Laser therapy can also be tested. Alternatively, 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Or, a 2% testosterone fish oil cream can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the vulva. Avoid using soap or irritating medications to clean the vulva.
