Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 25 years oldSymptoms: Occasional itching, increased vaginal discharge
Desired help: What kind of help is needed for vulvar leukoplakia and atrophic labia minora?
Doctor's answer:
The treatment of leukoplakia of the vulva generally involves:1. Local medication: 1% hydrocortisone ointment has a good effect in inhibiting pruritus caused by fibrotic dystrophy.
2. Oral medication: For those with relatively severe mental tension and pronounced pruritic symptoms leading to neurasthenia, sedative, sleep-inducing, and desensitizing drugs can be taken orally.
3. Laser therapy: CO laser or helium-neon laser treatment for lichen sclerosus dystrophy has a therapeutic effect, but like surgical treatment, it carries the possibility of recurrence.
Note: Maintain clean and dry vulvar skin at all times; discontinue the use of soap or other irritants; avoid scratching with hands or instruments; refrain from consuming spicy or allergenic foods; wear loose clothing and avoid wearing non-breathable synthetic fiber underwear to prevent the accumulation of moisture and heat, which may worsen inflammation.
