How is mixed-type vulvar leukoplakia treated?

Patient's question:

I am a full-time mom, and I just gave birth to my second child. Now, I take care of two little kids every day at home. A few days ago, I suddenly felt itchy at the vaginal opening one night and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. They said it was mixed-type vulvar leukoplakia. How should I treat it?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description and statements, you have mixed-type vulvar leukoplakia, which is likely caused by hormonal interference. Generally, under conditions of rising estrogen levels, it leads to vulvar malnutrition, resulting in vulvar atrophy. After observation, topical medication will be applied to the vulva, and medication will also be used for vaginal application. Pay attention to follow-up tests and relax your mentality.
