Patient's question:
Where can I be treated for leukoplakia of the vulva in a reputable hospital? I have been diagnosed with leukoplakia of the vulva at the local hospital, but the doctors there just told me to apply medication for three months and then come back for a follow-up examination. I saw online that medication is not effective for this condition? I have had it since I was a child, and it is said to be hereditary across generations, but none of my family members have this disease. Now I don’t know what to do, as everywhere seems to be full of scams. I don’t know which hospital to go to. I’m only 20 years old, and is there a cure for this disease?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia should be related to damp-heat accumulation and downward flow, as well as liver stagnation and spleen deficiency. Appropriate dietary adjustments are important, avoiding spicy foods. Carefully observe bowel movements, white discharge, and menstrual cycles—hereditary transmission across generations is unlikely. Herbal methods such as dandelion, honeysuckle, white peony root, schizonepeta, and toon bark can be used for external washing. Alternatively, medications like berberine solution are also effective. Maintain a positive mood, and wish you a speedy recovery!
