Patient's question:
In the recent few months, I have been experiencing intense itching in my lower abdomen, with some discharge that is viscous and resembles cottage cheese, accompanied by a strong odor. White patches have reappeared on my vulva, which have started small and have gradually increased, spreading to the area around my anus. The doctor said it is vulvar leukoplakia.What kind of help is needed: How can vulvar leukoplakia be treated effectively?
Doctor's answer:
Treating leukoplakia of the vulva requires interrupting the inflammation of the leukoplakia, repairing vulvar skin lesions, completely restoring the normal function of vulvar skin tissue cells, stabilizing the nutritional status of its microvessels and nerve endings, changing the local growth environment of the leukoplakia, promoting local regeneration, and gradually completely eliminating the leukoplakia. During the healing process, attention should be paid to nursing and management, combining treatment with care, temporarily abstaining from sexual activity, and maintaining vulvar cleanliness at all times. Avoid using some commercial cleaning agents for wiping. When itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied. It is important to try not to scratch, avoid wearing tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and eat less irritating foods.
