Patient's question:
My best friend told me a few weeks ago that she often suffers from intense itching in her lower abdomen and frequently scratches it with her hands. There are even open sores in the area, which is quite alarming. It has caused a lot of inconvenience in her daily life and work. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If your friend is really diagnosed with "leukoplakia of the vulva," currently, there is no trustworthy and effective cure for this disease worldwide. Most treatments are symptomatic, meaning they use methods to "reduce swelling and relieve pain." To accurately determine how candidiasis occurs, it is necessary to carefully examine the vaginal discharge (vaginal smear or fungal culture) to confirm the presence of Candida or its spores to diagnose candidiasis. If you suspect the results of the vaginal smear, you can perform bacterial culture to check for fungi. In addition to symptomatic treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also choose a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to obtain better treatment outcomes.
