Patient's question:
Some white spots have reappeared outside my vagina, looking very scary one by one. I also feel very embarrassed and don't want to go to the hospital to see a doctor. I feel shy asking others, so I want to ask a doctor online how to treat vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is an autoimmune disease with no specific treatment methods; it can only be managed symptomatically. It is important to maintain a light diet, exercise regularly, reduce immunity, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and wear cotton underwear instead of tight pants. If itching occurs, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments such as herbal steam baths can be considered, or physical therapy may also be an option. Maintaining a regular diet and sleep schedule, as well as keeping a positive mental and physical state, are also recommended. Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised to avoid sexual activity during treatment and to maintain cleanliness. Wishing all female patients a speedy recovery!
