Patient's question:
My wife got the disease of leukoplakia of the vulva, which has been about more than a month. At the beginning, she didn't tell me, and only when it became serious did she tell me. After a careful examination, she has never received treatment. I'm afraid that the longer it takes, the harder it will be to treat. How should it be treated? How is leukoplakia of the vulva treated?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is believed to be a precancerous lesion, and it is recommended to surgically remove the inflamed areas. However, the recurrence rate after surgery is extremely high. Moreover, surgical trauma can lead to scarring, which may affect normal sexual life. It is still better to adopt a drug-based treatment approach for healing. In daily life, it is advisable to wear loose, breathable underwear and pants, preferably made of pure cotton, to avoid synthetic materials like polyester. At the same time, the affected area should always be kept dry, ventilated, and cool. Vulvar leukoplakia is a disease that is difficult to resolve. Friends suffering from this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating vulvar leukoplakia.
