Patient's question:
A few days ago, while I was taking a bath, I noticed white patches in the external genital area. They were patchy, oval-shaped, and gradually spreading, reaching near the anus. There was some itching in the external genital area, along with some vaginal discharge, a strong odor, and very thick, viscous discharge. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I had leukoplakia of the vulva.What kind of help is needed: Can leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Curable. Treatment: 1. General treatment: Should pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the vulvar skin, stop using soap or other irritating drugs to scrub, and prevent scratching the affected area with hands or instruments. Avoid spicy and allergenic foods, wear loose clothing, and avoid wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear to prevent long-term heat and moisture accumulation and alleviate inflammation. 2. Local microwave therapy, the treatment mainly focuses on local itching. 3. Surgical treatment; a. Simple vulvectomy b. Laser therapy.
