Patient's question:
My aunt suffers from leukoplakia of the vulva. She feels very uncomfortable at night, and it has been going on for over ten years. She has visited several hospitals and taken some medications, but none have been effective. When she used to take them, it helped, but as soon as she stopped, the symptoms returned immediately. For this condition, my aunt has spent a lot of unnecessary money. Can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
You can try traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Due to the significant pain involved in surgery for leukoplakia of the vulva, and because the recovery of some patients after treatment is not always satisfactory, surgical treatment is not only expensive but also has a high recurrence rate. Therefore, in recent years, more and more patients have chosen safer and less painful traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods. Vulvar leukoplakia patients can, while understanding professional treatment, use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
