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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. How can leukoplakia of the external genitalia be treated to alleviate the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this condition is difficult to treat. If there is severe itching in the inflamed area, you can use decocted Chinese herbal medicine to steam and wash the external genital area, once or twice a day, then dry it. Apply 2% compound testosterone ointment externally (this medication can be prepared by the patient under the guidance of a doctor), gently massaging it into the affected skin with fingers. You can also take vitamin A orally, 250,000 to 500,000 units per day, and vitamin B6, 100 milligrams per day. During treatment, it is important to note that when the condition improves and itching subsides, you should not stop medication abruptly to prevent recurrence. Instead, you can gradually increase the frequency of use, such as every other day or twice a week. Avoid spicy foods; prevent colds and other febrile illnesses; and avoid hot spring baths. If the condition does not improve or worsens after treatment, a repeat biopsy may be performed to check for atypical hyperplasia or malignancy.
