Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is systemically classified into four types: fibrosis, atrophy, mixed, and lichenification. Among these, the fibrotic type is prone to carcinogenesis. In severe cases of atrophy, it can lead to vaginal stenosis and decreased libido, affecting normal sexual life for couples. Currently, there are advanced treatments for vulvar leukoplakia, such as the Aulock focused magnetic resonance system, which is a high-tech, minimally invasive treatment specifically designed for vulvar leukoplakia. This system uses a computer workstation to precisely control the ultrasound dosage based on the affected area's size and depth, instantly delivering scattered wave energy to penetrate the epidermal tissue and focus on inflamed tissue cells. Ultimately, it causes the inflamed tissue to degenerate, achieving the treatment goal.
