Patient's question:
For half a month, I've been feeling discomfort in the lower vulva, and the skin surface of the lower vulva has become hardened, rough, and itchy. Even after washing, it still itches, and ulcers have reappeared. Some parts of the lower vulva skin have also cracked again. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was leukoplakia of the vulva.Doctor's answer:
To treat leukoplakia of the vulva, it is necessary to cut off the inflammation of the leukoplakia, repair vulvar skin damage, completely restore the normal function of vulvar skin tissue cells, stabilize the nutritional status of microvessels and nerve endings, change the local growth environment, promote local regeneration, and gradually completely eliminate the leukoplakia. During the self-healing process, attention should be paid to nursing and management, integrating treatment and care, temporarily suspending sexual activity, and maintaining vulvar cleanliness at all times. Avoid using many market-available cleaning agents for washing. When itching is severe, protective ointments can be applied to suppress the urge to scratch as much as possible. Do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and eat less irritating foods. Vulvar leukoplakia is a disease that is not easily resolved.
