Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia can be treated with 2% hydrocortisone ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or by applying 2% testosterone fish oil ointment. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness during the day. Avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the external genitalia, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose-fitting, and laundry should be changed frequently. Additionally, it is advisable to wear soft cotton products. Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay close attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene.
