How to properly treat leukoplakia of the vulva?

Patient's question:

Yesterday my cousin came to visit my home. She looked very pale and seemed very depressed. I asked her what was wrong. She said that she had white spots on her vulva and didn't know what to do. Because she had just recently been married and was under a lot of pressure, I consulted her for a few minutes about how to treat vulvar leukoplakia effectively.

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal leukoplakia is essentially a form of pigment loss and is closely related to the reduced secretion of female hormones in individuals. It may be considered to use some topical creams, primarily those containing estrogen and progesterone. If itching is caused, leading to difficulty falling asleep and disrupting deep sleep, oral antihistamines can also be considered to relieve itching and improve sleep. Otherwise, prolonged poor sleep can indeed lead to fatigue and pale complexion.
For patients with vaginal leukoplakia, in addition to proper treatment, it is also essential to pay attention to self-care. During the treatment period, hygiene should be maintained, and the private area should always be kept clean. Lastly, it is strongly recommended that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
