Patient's question:
My legs have been very uncomfortable recently, with intense itching. It itches both day and night, making it difficult for me to sleep. Yesterday, I went to a gynecological hospital for a thorough examination, and they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I had no idea such a disease existed. I'm a bit panicked. Is this condition serious? I don't know how to treat it. What causes leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
A leukoplakia refers to various types of vulvar dystrophy. It is recommended to use Enfuscin cream or vitamin A acid cream for topical treatment. Laser therapy can also be tested. Alternatively, 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied.It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness. Avoid washing the vulva with soap or irritating medications. Do not consume spicy or irritating foods. Wear loose-fitting clothing, change laundry frequently, and pay attention to wearing soft cotton products.
Cooperating with the doctor's treatment can lead to a cure. When patients face the harm of vulvar leukoplakia, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and not avoid seeking medical attention. If vulvar leukoplakia does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
