Patient's question:
Vaginal itching, it has already started to lack elasticity, color change, area spread, duration of about 3 years, no real treatment has been given. There was a doctor who prescribed a vitamin for over 2,000 yuan, but the effect was not very significant. I want to completely cure it, can it be cured? What should I do? Can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?Doctor's answer:
In the past, it was commonly recommended to surgically remove the condition, but the postoperative recurrence rate was high. In recent years, long-term follow-up of patients previously diagnosed with vulvar leukoplakia has revealed that the incidence of malignancy is only around 1%. Even in cases with epithelial dysplasia, only a small portion can progress to in situ carcinoma or invasive carcinoma. Practical evidence has shown that medication can achieve relatively satisfactory results in controlling local itching or completely restoring the normal morphology of vulvar skin. The daily treatment for vulvar leukoplakia patients is primarily symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines, avoiding alcohol.
