Patient's question:
In recent months, I've been feeling severe lower back pain, cold hands and feet, and a heavy, bloated sensation in my lower abdomen. I also have some white discharge with a sticky, smelly texture, and white patches on my vulva. These patches have gradually spread to the area around my anus, accompanied by itching. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the diagnosis was vulvar leukoplakia.What kind of help is needed: How is vulvar leukoplakia treated in Japan?
Doctor's answer:
The general treatment for vulvar leukoplakia is carried out through medication. Currently, in clinical diagnosis, the standard treatment for vulvar leukoplakia typically involves medication. Generally, the vulva is washed with a Ph4 weak acid-formulated female care liquid, followed by the local application of hormone medication and local anesthetic anaerobic rods. Vulvar leukoplakia can also be treated through physical therapy, as medication does have certain side effects. Patients can opt for physical therapy with no side effects. Physical therapy generally includes microwave therapy, carbon dioxide laser, helium-neon laser, BOM light high-frequency electric knife, local electrocautery, and local cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen.
