Patient's question:
What should a 28-year-old female patient with leukoplakia of the vulva pay attention to? What kind of help do you value: What should be paid attention to when suffering from leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is generally accompanied by severe itching, which can last for months or even 20 years. This itching is relentless, occurring regardless of season or time of day, making it extremely unbearable. If it is accompanied by trichomoniasis or candidiasis, the itching will intensify further. Due to the unclear cause, there is currently no specific treatment. Laser therapy can be tested, or a 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Alternatively, a 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to clean the external genitalia, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods.
