Patient's question:
Female, 35 years old, diagnosed with leukoplakia of the vulva three years ago. The vulva is extremely itchy, painful, dry, cracked, and atrophic.Doctor's answer:
The clinical features of vulvar leukoplakia include vulvar itching, burning pain, and depigmentation or whitening of the skin and mucosa in the affected area, as well as roughness, cracking, ulceration, and atrophy of the skin. Drug therapy, laser, microwave, and other physical treatments, as well as surgical excision, all have the drawbacks of unstable efficacy and a high risk of recurrence in the short term. Due to the inability to achieve long-term cures, it has a severe impact on both the physical and psychological well-being of patients, causing them great suffering. Pure drug therapy for vulvar leukoplakia has become largely ineffective. Currently, the Aulock focused ultrasound system is available, a high-tech, non-invasive treatment specifically designed for vulvar leukoplakia. It utilizes the biological effects resulting from its interaction with biological tissues to promote capillary proliferation, improve blood circulation, and enhance the nutritional condition of the skin.
