How should gynecological vulvar leukoplakia be treated?

Vulvar leukoplakia is called vulvar white lesions. It is a common and difficult to treat gynecological disease. The main feature is the whitening of the vulvar skin and mucous membranes, but the cause of this disease is still unknown. In the early stages of the disease, white spots may appear on the labia minora and clitoris, and then slowly spread to the surrounding areas. However, female patients do not need to worry too much. The following editor will introduce you to methods for treating vulvar leukoplakia.

In the past, it was believed that vulvar leukoplakia had a high chance of becoming cancerous, and it was generally recommended to use cruel surgery such as vulvar excision for treatment, but the probability of recurrence after surgery was still very high. Now, with the development of medical technology, as long as the local itching is controlled or the normal shape of the vulvar skin is restored, drug treatment can achieve better and safer results than surgical treatment.

The general treatment of vulvar leukoplakia mainly uses erythromycin ointment and vitamin E for local application three times a day. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is one of the important methods for treating vulvar leukoplakia. It mainly uses the principles of dispelling wind and dampness, clearing away heat and detoxifying, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It is treated by washing the vulva area with decoctions and taking decoctions. Here we recommend that you use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine for treatment. For vulvar leukoplakia with stubborn itching, you can use cryotherapy. For leukoplakia with a larger area, severe symptoms, or even ulceration, surgical treatment is the only option.

In your daily life, you should learn to control inflammatory irritation. Once vulvar inflammation and excessive vaginal discharge occur, you must deal with it in a timely manner. Try to choose loose-fitting clothes and wear more cotton materials. Always keep your vulva clean and dry. Never scrub with soap or irritants, and try not to scratch the vulva. You should also pay attention to your diet, eat light food and avoid spicy food.

The editor reminds you that only by persisting in treatment can you recover. Although this disease is difficult to cure, if you can actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment in normal times, it can still play a role in alleviating the symptoms. Therefore, for the sake of normal health in the future, female patients must pay attention to this symptom when they find it in normal times.
