Patient's question:
Last year, I had an IUD inserted. I noticed suspicious symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia in the external genital area. It has been about a year since I haven't had a thorough examination or treatment. The white patches in the vulvar area show a tendency to expand, and the swelling is also quite noticeable. Intercourse with my partner occurs only once a year, and this time I felt more pain, which led me to seek attention. What kind of help I need: What are the treatment methods for vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, treating leukoplakia of the vulva requires repairing vulvar skin lesions, completely restoring the normal function of vulvar skin tissue cells, stabilizing the nutritional status of microvessels and nerve endings, changing the local growth environment, enhancing local regeneration, and gradually completely eliminating 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. When itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied. It is important to avoid scratching as much as possible and not to wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear.
