Patient's question:
Hello, I haven't been feeling well recently. The examination revealed leukoplakia of the vulva. How is the best treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the current best treatment is surgical removal, as vulvar leukoplakia may potentially become cancerous. Therefore, it is crucial not to be complacent. However, the number of cases that actually develop into cancer is relatively small. Do not undergo surgery simply upon a diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia. In fact, atypical hyperplasia of vulvar leukoplakia can be completely cured or relieved through integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments. It does not necessarily progress into squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, the first step is to confirm the degree of atypical inflammation in vulvar leukoplakia. Usually, regular follow-up and careful observation are required while undergoing integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment.
