Patient's question:
My friend felt itchy outside a few days ago and went for a check-up. It was said to be leukoplakia of the vulva. I heard that moxibustion can be used for it. I want to know how moxibustion treats leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is a gynecological disease. Moxibustion can be applied to the Zhongwan, Shenque, Guanyuan, Zongzi, Kaituanguilai, Balaixue, and Sanyinjiao acupoints. These acupoints can be moxibustioned separately. If time is a concern, they can also be moxibustioned together. It is essential to follow the principle of gradual progression to avoid excessive moxibustion causing stomach issues. Endure the moxibustion, and it will definitely be effective.The condition of vaginal leukoplakia is very serious. It is recommended that patients start treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
