Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 25 years old. Occasionally itches and causes local pain after scratching. Treatment history and effectiveness: How to prevent leukoplakia of the vulva in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, is often caused by endocrine disorders, disruptions, and low or abnormal immunity. Clinically, it manifests as depigmentation, paleness, ulcers, atrophy of the labia majora and minora, itching, or intensely unbearable pruritus.Recommendations: Laser therapy can be tested, or a 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and pain. Alternatively, a 2% testosterone propionate fish oil ointment can be applied. In daily life, wear loose, breathable underwear and pants, preferably made of pure cotton, to avoid synthetic fibers like polyester. Keep the affected area dry, well-ventilated, and cool.
Doctor's Advice: For patients, if the condition of vulvar leukoplakia is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered.
