Patient's question:
My aunt has developed leukoplakia of the vulva. Currently, the vulva is covered with scales, and severe skin damage has reappeared. The vulva is severely swollen, with pus forming on the skin surface. Additionally, she experiences intense itching, making it difficult for her to sit or stand comfortably during work and daily life. What medications are available for treating leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia has a small possibility of malignant transformation and requires active treatment. For leukoplakia caused by external factors, hormone drugs are generally used for symptomatic treatment, and the effect is relatively good. If conservative treatment is ineffective, laser or cryosurgery may be used for symptomatic treatment. You can visit a large local hospital for follow-up treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment, with regular follow-up tests. Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During treatment, women should pay attention to their own care. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene in the vaginal area and maintain a light diet.
