Patient's question:
I have been suffering from leukoplakia of the vulva for a long time now. Currently, not only is the itching in the vulvar area unbearable, but I also noticed some skin swelling when applying medication a few days ago. However, over the past few months, I have strictly followed the doctor's advice and continued medication, yet it feels like the condition is still worsening. What is the best way to treat leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is a disease caused by the recurrence of dysfunction in the autoimmune system, making the treatment quite challenging. Topical medications can provide some relief from symptoms, but they may not necessarily completely cure vaginal leukoplakia. Therefore, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding excessive strain, and boosting immunity are still important. Combining traditional Chinese medicine for treatment can yield better results.Patients with vaginal leukoplakia can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, also use folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. Proper dietary habits should be maintained, avoiding irritating foods.
