Patient's question:
It has been three years, using ointment to reduce inflammation and itching, one piece at a time, on both sides of the vulva, about one-third of the entire vulva. Where is a good place to treat leukoplakia of the vulva? Can it be done in West China Hospital in Chengdu?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia, due to unclear etiology, currently has no specific treatment available. 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 medications to wash the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose-fitting, and laundry should be changed frequently. Additionally, it is important to wear soft cotton products.Furthermore, during the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
