How to treat vulvar dystrophy? Long-term treatment is the key

Vulvar malnutrition can cause symptoms of vulvar itching, and the itching is very severe, especially at night. Some patients can't help scratching. It needs timely treatment. This disease sometimes requires long-term medication treatment. Pay attention to hygiene at ordinary times.

1. General treatment

"Vulvar leukoplakia" must be treated long-term. Some of the skin in the affected area becomes thicker and leathery; some becomes thinner, dry and easily cracked, and even ulcers and nodules may occur. If the vulva skin turns white, you should go to the hospital for examination regardless of whether it is itchy or not. You should be more vigilant if the skin is thickened, rough, raised, ulcerated, cracked, or indurated, and surgical treatment can be performed if necessary.

Vulvar leukoplakia develops slowly, and in the past, surgical excision was mostly used to treat the chance of cancer, but surgical treatment is no longer recommended. In the late stage, the vaginal opening may contract and narrow, the vulva and clitoris will atrophy, and the surrounding tissues will lose elasticity. Since "white lesions of the vulva" are relatively stubborn, long-term treatment and regular follow-up are necessary. The best follow-up time is 3 to 6 months, and generally satisfactory results can be achieved after persistent treatment.

Vulvar leukoplakia is usually accompanied by extreme itching, which can last for several months or even 20 years. The itching occurs regardless of season or day or night, and is unbearable. If accompanied by Trichomonas vaginitis or candidal vaginitis, the itching will be aggravated. Because the cause is unknown, there is no specific treatment. You can try laser therapy, and it is more suitable to use Ph4 Jiaoyan weak acid formula feminine care liquid for vulva cleaning. Or apply 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment. Usually, you should pay attention to keeping it clean and dry, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to clean the vulva, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Clothes should be loose and changed frequently. At the same time, you should pay attention to wearing soft cotton products. The second symptom is vaginal flatulence, which means that the vaginal opening can produce or inhale gas, and then discharge it with a sound like a fart.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is caused by qi deficiency, while Western medicine believes that it is related to weakness of the pubococcygeus muscles at the bottom of the perineum. Because the vulva shrinks and the vaginal opening is not closed tightly, gas can easily flow in. Pubococcygeus muscle exercises can help overcome this problem. This symptom occurs after childbirth, when the vagina has not yet recovered from dilation. The pubococcygeus muscles around the vagina become thinner and weaker and cannot close the vagina tightly, making it easy for gas to flow into or remain in the vagina. The gas is only expelled when the abdomen is contracted forcefully. If the patient can persist in exercising the pubococcygeus muscle every day, the effect will definitely be seen after a few months.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Vulvar white lesions, also known as chronic vulvar dystrophy, refer to a group of diseases caused by nutritional disorders of the vulvar skin and mucous membranes, resulting in tissue degeneration and pigment changes. The formation of this disease is mostly related to the neurovascular nutrition disorder in the deep connective tissue of the vulva, which leads to pathological changes in the overlying skin.

Traditional Chinese medicine treats the disease as "vaginal itch" or "vaginal sores" according to the pathological characteristics and clinical symptoms of the disease. Vaginal itching is accompanied by wind, and vulvar sores are accompanied by dampness and accumulated heat. This disease mostly occurs in women of childbearing age and the elderly, and is rare in young girls. It can be treated by fumigating and washing with the traditional Chinese medicine "Yinbansan" every day, which is very convenient.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that vulvar itching is caused by wind-heat in the liver meridian or heat accumulation in spleen deficiency. For example, if kidney deficiency cannot dissolve in the genitals, wind evil dissolving in the skin can cause vulvar itching and vaginal sores. Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that insufficient essence and blood, deficiency of the Ren meridian, and withering of the genitals. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, insufficient essence and blood, deficiency of the kidney and spleen, and hyperactivity of the liver are the main causes of nutritional disorders of the vulva. Therefore, the general treatment principle is to treat both the symptoms and the root causes. One is to relieve itching, reduce inflammation, and moisturize the skin to eliminate symptoms; the second is to eliminate the inducement. You can use snow lotus herbal wash for external application therapy. First, clean the genitals with Ph4 Jiaoyan weak acid formula female care liquid, then take a cotton swab or a sterile cotton ball dipped in Jiaoyan herbal liquid, apply it to the affected area of ​​the vulva, and apply it repeatedly three times, once a day.
