What is the best treatment for vulvar leukoplakia?

Vulvar leukoplakia is a common gynecological disease. The most obvious symptom of vulvar leukoplakia is intense itching in the vulva, which lasts for varying lengths of time, ranging from a few months to several years or even longer. Vulvar leukoplakia can occur regardless of time or place, which has a huge impact on patients. Many patients want to know where this disease can be treated. Let us take a closer look below.

Vulvar leukoplakia is not a difficult disease and can be treated correctly in a professional gynecological hospital or a tertiary hospital.

The treatment of vulvar leukoplakia is as follows:

1. Eliminate the causes: Patients with diabetes, trichomonas or candidal vaginitis should receive treatment, eat less spicy food, keep the vulva clean, avoid soap scrubbing, scratching and the use of irritating drugs, and take multivitamins, sedatives and desensitizers.

(ii) Local medication: for the purpose of relieving itching, reducing inflammation, moisturizing and improving local nutrition.

1. External washing medicine: Chinese medicine Sophora flavescens and Artemisia capillaris wash or other Chinese medicine decoction for fumigation and washing.

2. For atrophic type: Apply 1%~2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment (100~200mg of testosterone propionate added to 10~20g of 20% cod liver oil ointment) externally, 3~4 times/day, for 2~3 months. It can make the skin thicker and softer and loosen adhesions.

3. For hyperplastic and mixed types, dexamethasone and hydrocortisone ointment can be used. For mixed types, testosterone propionate and cod liver oil ointment should also be applied externally.

(3) Acupuncture and acupoint injection can be tried.

(iv) Laser treatment: Laser treatment of lichen sclerosus malnutrition has the effect of relieving itching, promoting wound healing and improving local blood circulation.

(V) Surgical treatment: For moderate to severe atypical hyperplasia, or ulcers and fissures that do not heal after non-surgical treatment, simple vulvectomy may be considered.

By understanding, you can know the correct treatment plan for vulvar leukoplakia. I believe that as long as you go to a regular hospital, you can get treatment quickly and correctly. After receiving regular treatment, patients should also pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. The underwear they change should be washed separately from those of their family members and exposed to the sun. They should try to wear loose cotton underwear.
