Patient's question:
I have recently been feeling constantly weak all over, with palpitations and chest tightness. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I had never heard of this condition before. The doctor prescribed some medication for a few days, but it never seemed to help at all. I am very anxious. What should I do about my leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Surgery is recommended for cases with obvious symptoms that do not respond to medication, or those with severe atypical fibrosis or recurrent ulcers and nodules locally. Local lesion excision or simple vulvectomy can be performed. After excision, the specimen is sent for pathology examination to carefully observe whether there is any residual atypical fibrosis or inflammation at the margins. Follow-up visits should still be conducted periodically after surgery.There are several treatment methods for vulvar leukoplakia, but since the patient's condition varies, the chosen treatment method will differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
