Patient's question:
My mother is 56 years old and has been suffering from leukoplakia of the vulva for 20 years. The treatment has always been inconsistent, and she has also undergone laser therapy. Hello, can your hospital cure it?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia must be treated long-term. Regardless of whether there is itching, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Particular attention should be paid to cases with skin thickening, roughness, ulcers, cracks, or lumps. Surgical treatment may be necessary if needed.There are several methods for treating vulvar leukoplakia, including common ones such as light therapy, laser treatment, surgery, cryotherapy, electroacupuncture, reflexology, acupoint anesthesia, topical herbal washing, and hormone ointments. It is recommended that if the condition does not improve, surgical treatment can be considered.
