Treatment of white spots on female vulva

Gynecological diseases are very harmful to women's bodies. There are many gynecological diseases that can be effectively prevented. Among them, white spots on the female vulva are a relatively common gynecological disease. However, many times, women will always experience extreme itching, which has a great impact on their normal lives and makes many women feel uneasy. If such symptoms occur, they must be treated in time. Let's learn about the methods of treating white spots on the female vulva.

Treatment of white spots on female vulva

1. General treatment

Pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and dry. Do not use irritating drugs or soaps to clean the vulva. Avoid wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear and do not eat spicy or allergenic foods. For those with severe itching symptoms leading to insomnia, sedatives, sleeping pills and anti-allergic drugs can be added.

2. Medication

Commonly used drugs for vulvar lichen sclerosus include pyruvic acid ointment, compound vitamin A ointment and progesterone ointment. Alternatively, glucocorticoid ointments or immunotherapy may be used. Drugs can improve symptoms but cannot cure the disease, and long-term use is required. Lichen sclerosus in young girls may heal on its own by puberty, and pyruvate ointment is generally not used for treatment to avoid virilization. 1% hydrocortisone ointment or 0.3% progesterone ointment can be applied, which can relieve most symptoms, but long-term follow-up is required.

Vulvar squamous epithelial hyperplasia can be treated with topical corticosteroids to control pruritus. Treatment is effective for most patients, but long-term medication is required.

3. Physical therapy

Suitable for patients who are not responsive to drug treatment or whose condition is serious. Microwave therapy, carbon dioxide laser and helium-neon laser, Bohm light, high-frequency electric knife, local electrocautery therapy and liquid nitrogen local cryotherapy, etc.

4. Surgery

Surgical treatment is only suitable for patients with severe conditions and those who have failed to respond to repeated medication or physical therapy. Surgery is required when vulvar squamous hyperplasia is suspected to be malignant.

The above is an introduction to the methods of treating white spots on the female vulva. After understanding it, we know that there are many treatments for white spots on the vulva. When treating, we must choose a treatment method that suits us. In addition, it is worth noting that when such a disease occurs, we must not take medication blindly.
