Patient's question:
The past two years, my sister got leukoplakia of the vulva, she had surgery, but recently it flared up again. Now her labia majora have atrophied and turned white, she is very distressed. Because of this, her husband even suspected her of having an affair. We are very anxious. Can this disease be cured? What treatment methods should be used?Doctor's answer:
The causes of vulvar leukoplakia are related to changes in the internal environment, including endocrine disorders, functional imbalances between the liver, spleen, and kidneys, as well as repeated local inflammation of the vulva. Therefore, avoid overexertion, ensure deep sleep, and readjust your emotions to boost your immunity. If the above treatments are ineffective, consider surgical removal of the vulva. Vulvar leukoplakia is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
