How to treat vulvar atrophy leukoplakia

Patient's question:

What I encountered was initially itching at the vaginal opening, then it spread slightly inside. Using a mirror to observe, I found that the vaginal opening was covered with thick, creamy white discharge. I used cotton swabs to remove it. How is the treatment for atrophic leukoplakia of the external genitalia?

Doctor's answer:

Vulvar white lesions include vulvar leukoplakia, leukoplakia of the vulva, or vulvar dystrophy. Previously, it was considered to be due to vascular nutritional disorders, but with further understanding of the disease, these changes were not found. Instead, it is a condition characterized by pigmentation changes and degeneration of the vulvar skin and mucosal tissues. Since the vulvar skin and mucosa of patients with lichen sclerosus and squamous epithelial hyperplasia are often white, it is referred to as vulvar white lesions, which belong to non-neoplastic changes of the vulvar epithelium. It is recommended that you pay attention to personal hygiene and use Fuyanjie for external cleaning and treatment of the vulva, which is relatively better.
