Patient's question:
I have itching in my groin area, especially at night it becomes more painful. I have been too embarrassed to go to the hospital for treatment. When the itching was severe, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination after my friend persuaded me. The doctor found some white spots and diagnosed it as leukoplakia of the vulva. The doctor gave me some medication. However, I want to be completely cured, do I need surgery?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of leukoplakia, you can follow the doctor's advice to apply testosterone propionate ointment or hydrocortisone ointment externally, or use prednisone acetate with procaine for basal isolation in the affected area. Oral intake of vitamins A, B, E, and traditional Chinese medicine such as honeysuckle, cinnabar, Sophora flavescens, Epimedium, Dendrobium candidum, and Trichosanthes kirilowii can be used for internal consumption and external washing. For older patients who do not respond to the above treatments, surgical excision of the affected area of the vulva can be considered. I hope my explanation is helpful.Additionally, during the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must ensure adequate vitamin intake, prevent diarrhea, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
