Is hospitalization necessary for the treatment of leukoplakia of the vulva?

Patient's question:

I checked last week and was diagnosed with leukoplakia of the vulva. I want to know the best treatment method.

Doctor's answer:

The main pathological types of vulvar leukoplakia include squamous cell hyperplasia, lichen sclerosus, and mixed type. A 1% hydrocortisone cream and 1-2% testosterone cream can be applied. This treatment can be maintained for 6-8 weeks, with 3-4 applications per day. Hospitalization is not required. While adhering to long-term treatment, it is important to maintain vulvar cleanliness and dryness, avoid tight underwear, and avoid wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear. Additionally, consume fewer allergenic foods.
