Patient's question:
I have had vaginitis for over ten years, with abnormal vaginal discharge that is often white and cheese-like, but it has never been detected as having Candida or trichomoniasis. It also rarely causes itching. Additionally, I have severe hemorrhoids and always need to wash with water after defecation to feel clean. Last year, itching began in the external genital area and anus. Last year, I had hemorrhoid surgery, and during the examination, the doctor mentioned that there was depigmentation of the anal area. Recently, during a health check-up at my workplace, the doctor said I have leukoplakia of the external genitalia. Can leukoplakia of the external genitalia be cured?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is recommended to be treated with topical Enfucor cream or vitamin A acid cream. Laser therapy can also be tested, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness during daily care. Avoid using soap or irritating drugs to wash the vulva, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose and comfortable, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is important to wear soft cotton products. The daily treatment for vulvar leukoplakia patients is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to diet, eating light, thin, and soft foods.
