Patient's question:
Recently, I have frequently experienced symptoms of itching in the lower body, and my vaginal discharge has also become much more abundant. At times, the secretion is particularly excessive, especially at night when the itching is especially severe. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor told me that the condition is caused by vulvar leukoplakia. I would like to learn about the most effective methods for treating vulvar leukoplakia.What kind of help is needed: How can the treatment for vulvar leukoplakia be most effective?
Doctor's answer:
If your vulvar itching has been diagnosed as leukoplakia of the vulva, you must seek professional treatment at a regular hospital. The recurrence of itching does not mean your condition can be ignored. Generally, leukoplakia of the vulva may have different symptoms depending on the type, such as mild itching in the case of the inflammatory type. You should abstain from sexual activity and maintain constant cleanliness of the vulva. Avoid using random commercial cleaning agents for washing. When the itching is severe, you can apply a protective ointment. Try your best not to scratch, avoid wearing tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and reduce the intake of irritating foods.
