Patient's question:
I have had leukoplakia of the vulva for several years, and it is fibrotic. It is said that this condition can recur as cancer, so I have been undergoing treatment continuously. However, the results have not been particularly significant. The fibrosis has not improved at all, and in recent times, it has even become more severe. I am very worried. What medications are good for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
For treating leukoplakia of the vulva, please go to a professional hospital for follow-up examination and treatment based on the condition. Do not seek treatment at non-professional skin hospitals to avoid misdiagnosis and missing the best opportunity for treatment. Leukoplakia of the vulva is not an inflammation; its focus is not on the surface but inside the body. Therefore, simple topical medications and surgery only treat symptoms without addressing the root cause, merely alleviating symptoms and masking the condition, prolonging the illness. Physical therapies such as laser, electrotherapy, BOM light, and Haijixing are also only treating symptoms without addressing the root cause. For patients with expansive leukoplakia of the vulva, these treatments can also be severe, accelerating the loss of vulvar nutrition and worsening the expansion. To completely cure leukoplakia of the vulva, it is recommended to use standardized traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with leukoplakia of the vulva should maintain a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients effectively.
