1. Surgical Removal: From a Western medical perspective, vulvar leukoplakia is a precancerous lesion that may develop into vulvar cancer, so it is recommended for surgical removal. Its disadvantages include causing psychological trauma, significantly impacting postoperative sexual life, and having a high recurrence rate of over 80%.
2. Laser and Diathermy: The efficacy is unreliable, and it can easily lead to the reduction of swelling. This is because the condition is caused by various factors leading to obstruction in the vulvar nutritional pathways, resulting in local nutrient deficiency. Diathermy and laser treatments reduce nutrient loss, thereby alleviating the swelling of the lesions.
