Patient's question:
I got vulvar leukoplakia six months ago, it itches, hurts, and has white patches. Sometimes it itches so much at night that I can't sleep.Doctor's answer:
Medication treatment is likely a preferred choice for many patients with vulvar leukoplakia, mainly because although the treatment period is long, it does not require patients to frequently visit the hospital. Patients can take medication during their free time outside of work. Nowadays, many women are busy with their jobs, so they naturally prefer treatment options that occupy less of their work and life time. However, the drawbacks of medication treatment are also quite obvious. The main reason is that the medication used is difficult to reach the root of the condition, making it rare for the treatment to achieve a complete cure.
