Patient's question:
My wife has been experiencing some itching in her vulva since last month, accompanied by numerous small red spots and an unusually high amount of vaginal discharge. She also constantly has an unpleasant odor. By this month, white patches have started to appear on her vulva again. How should vulvar leukoplakia be treated with medication?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia may reappear with symptoms of local itching in the vaginal area, along with the presence of leukoplakia. If a thorough examination and diagnosis confirm vaginal leukoplakia, timely medication treatment is necessary. Generally, topical medications can be applied under the guidance of a doctor, and estrogen supplementation can also be appropriately administered. It is recommended to wear cotton underwear and pants to reduce irritation to the vaginal area. Avoid spicy foods, and laser treatment is also an option.
