Patient's question:
Patient Gender: MalePatient Age: 40
My wife had a serious gynecological condition a few weeks ago and has been in treatment. We haven’t had sexual intercourse for a long time. The other day, when she went for a follow-up checkup, the doctor said she had developed vulvar leukoplakia. At first, we didn’t know what this disease was.
Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that leukoplakia of the external genitalia is primarily caused by deficiency of qi and blood, and accumulation of dampness-heat. Generally, it is difficult for conventional drugs to cure it, and Western medicine has no specific medication. It is recommended to use Enfusione cream or vitamin A acid cream externally for treatment. Pruritus can also be relieved by applying 2% hydrocortisone ointment or using 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment. Laser therapy can also be tried. Avoid spicy and greasy foods, and have follow-up examinations promptly.
