Patient's question:
A relative has had leukoplakia of the vulva for many years. They have visited many hospitals and received various medications, but the condition has not improved. It has been delayed until now, and it is said that there is a possibility of malignancy, which is causing everyone great concern. How should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated when it has been present for a long time?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is generally accompanied by an itchy sensation, and there are currently no effective treatments. The only way to resolve it is through surgical removal, but the recurrence rate is high. It is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene during daily life. Currently, there are no highly effective drugs available to control it. If there is a reduction in size or other symptoms, surgery should be performed promptly. In addition to treating vulvar leukoplakia, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and accelerate the recovery process.
