How to cure vulvar leukoplakia?

I didn’t pay attention to it in my daily life and now I accidentally got vulvar leukoplakia. Many female patients are very distressed when they learn that they have vulvar leukoplakia. How can vulvar leukoplakia be cured? It has become the top question that many female patients want to know. If you have vulvar leukoplakia, you should seek early treatment when you first know about it, so as to avoid it getting worse and leaving a root of the disease. Next, let’s look at some methods for treating vulvar leukoplakia.

1. Actively treat concomitant diseases

Control blood sugar, correct endocrine disorders and malnutrition, supplement vitamins, etc.

2. Local treatment

Keep the vulva clean and dry, and avoid excessive scrubbing with soap. The local area can be washed externally with Chinese medicine that clears heat, detoxifies and dries dampness. When itching is obvious, topical corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone ointment and hydrocortisone butyrate cream can be applied topically. When the itching is particularly severe, you can apply halometasone (sicorten) cream or ointment and clobetasol (Temeifu) cream or ointment externally, which has a good effect. Keratotic hyperplastic lesions can be treated topically with 0.025% to 0.05% retinoic acid ointment or 2.5% fluorouracil ointment. It can block the conversion of uracil deoxynucleoside to thymidine deoxynucleoside, inhibit DNA synthesis, and prevent the proliferation, division and differentiation of tumor cells. Therefore, fluorouracil ointment is applied topically to treat precancerous lesions of the skin and malignant lesions of the skin.

3. Surgical Resection

In fact, mild atypical hyperplasia of vulvar leukoplakia can be completely cured and alleviated through the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, and it does not necessarily develop into squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, we must first determine the degree of atypical lesions of vulvar leukoplakia. Usually, it is necessary to combine Chinese and Western medicine treatment with regular follow-up observation. For those who do not recover for a long time, surgery is only a definite indication for vulvar leukoplakia when the epidermal keratinocytes show obvious atypicality and tend to develop into carcinoma in situ.

Some female patients, when they learn that they have vulvar leukoplakia, become panic-stricken and blindly seek medical treatment everywhere. In fact, the most correct way is to go to a regular hospital for early treatment, otherwise the disease will become more serious and the treatment will be more troublesome. With the development of modern medical technology, how to treat vulvar leukoplakia is no longer a big problem. Therefore, female patients should not be too nervous, early treatment is the top priority.
