Patient's question:
After having a hysterectomy last year, I initially experienced frequent constipation. Later, I felt occasional pain in my vagina. A nearby small hospital diagnosed it as vulvar dystrophy, but some medication didn't help. Later, I visited another hospital, where they diagnosed it as leukoplakia of the vulva.Doctor's answer:
Hello,To treat leukoplakia of the vulva, it is necessary to block the progression of leukoplakia, repair vulvar skin damage, restore the normal function of vulvar skin cells, improve the nutritional status of microvessels and nerve endings, alter the local tissue growth environment, promote the regeneration of local tissues, and gradually eliminate the leukoplakia. During the healing process, attention should be paid to care and maintenance—combining treatment with care. Sexual activity should be temporarily avoided, and the vulva should be kept clean. Avoid using some commercial cleaning agents. When itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied. Try to restrain yourself from scratching as much as possible. Do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and reduce the intake of irritating foods.
