Patient's question:
I have had leukoplakia of the external genitalia for a year now, and I am currently being treated with medication, but it doesn't itch at all anymore. The only issue is that the color keeps turning white. What could be the reason? Every morning, my labia minora are slightly swollen. The medication prescribed by the hospital is {yao-Prasterone-} testosterone propionate and natural vitamin E. I want to ask if this medication is effective. I haven't divorced yet, and I have this condition, which makes me very upset. I hope the doctor can assist me.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main pathological types of leukoplakia of the vulva include squamous hyperplasia of the vulva, lichen sclerosus, and mixed type. Its clinical diagnostic features are vulvar itching, burning pain, depigmentation or whitening of the skin and mucosa in inflamed areas, rough skin, cracks, and ulcers. Drug treatment, laser, microwave, and other physical treatments, as well as surgical excision, all have the drawbacks of unstable efficacy and a high risk of recurrence in the short term. Focused magnetic resonance minimally invasive surgery can be used to treat leukoplakia of the vulva, without hospitalization, achieving one-time self-healing, and preventing recurrence. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations and follow medical advice for treatment.
