Patient's question:
Doctor, I haven't had sexual activity, and I don't know what the reason is. These past few days, I've been feeling discomfort in my private area, with some itching. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I want to ask the doctor, how can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is recommended that you clean the external genital area with clean water daily and apply some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving ointment externally. You can also soak in a solution of medicinal herbs for sitz baths, 2-3 times a day, for 10-15 minutes each time. You should change your underwear and socks daily, and try to use high-temperature sterilization for them. During treatment, avoid spicy foods, do not use soapy water or strong-stimulating medications to clean the external genital area. It is advisable to wear comfortable underwear made of breathable cotton fabric. If the itching is severe, you can also use some anti-allergic medication.
