Patient's question:
My sister told me a few weeks ago that she had a gynecological disease. She said she felt itchy in her external genital area, so she went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said that besides leukoplakia of the external genitalia, she also had cervical erosion. My sister was very anxious, feeling that she was quite hygienic in her daily life and thought it was unfair to get this disease. How should leukoplakia of the external genitalia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to various types of vaginal malnutrition. Laser therapy can 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 life, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to wash the external genitalia, 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 necessary to pay attention to wearing soft cotton products. In addition, during the treatment of vaginal leukoplakia, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vaginal leukoplakia.
