Vaginal leukoplakia for about a year and a half, one side of the labia has turned white, and recently there has been atrophy.

Patient's question:

Approximately one and a half years ago, one labia became white, and recently it has shrunk with mild itching and discomfort in the groin area.

Doctor's answer:

Common methods include light (infrared, wave mother), laser, surgery, cryotherapy, electroacupuncture, radiation, acupoint injection, acupuncture therapy, topical application of traditional Chinese medicine, and external application of hormones, among others. However, all these methods have limitations and improper aspects. They often only provide temporary relief from itching without addressing the root cause, leading to frequent recurrence. Some may be ineffective due to complex procedures, and in some cases, they may even cause side effects and additional damage. The treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva involves oral medication, topical application, and nursing care.
