Patient's question:
How to treat vulvar leukoplakia, SOSDoctor's answer:
"Vaginal leukoplakia" must be treated for a long time. The affected skin may thicken like leather, or it may become thin, dry, and prone to cracking, even leading to recurrent ulcers or lumps. The skin of the vulva turns white, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination regardless of whether there is itching. If the skin is thickened, rough, elevated, ulcerated, cracked, or has lumps, it should be more cautious. Surgical treatment may be necessary if needed.Consult a traditional Chinese medicine gynecologist for vaginal leukoplakia, which develops slowly. In the past, most cases were treated with surgical removal due to the risk of cancer, but surgical treatment is no longer recommended now. In advanced stages, the vaginal opening may be narrowed due to scar contracture, and the vulva, clitoris, and surrounding tissues may also lose elasticity.
