Patient's question:
A year ago, I discovered I had leukoplakia of the vulva. At first, I didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just normal itching and bought some medicine to apply. Later, the itching became worse, and it started to hurt. Eventually, white patches appeared. Sometimes I couldn't even sleep, and my mental state was particularly poor.Doctor's answer:
Hello,To treat leukoplakia of the vulva, it is necessary to block the progression of leukoplakia, repair vulvar skin lesions, 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 suspended, 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.
