How to Treat Vaginal Leukoplakia? Is It Curable?
Vaginal leukoplakia is a common gynecological disease, and there are many reasons for its occurrence. It is usually related to the decline of the patient's immune function and the lack of attention to personal hygiene. The course of the disease varies from long to short. Sometimes, the condition spreads severely during the acute phase, while sometimes, although the condition stabilizes, the damage can last for years. Patients often experience various symptoms such as itching and pain in the private area. Next, let's briefly understand how to treat vaginal leukoplakia.
Regular follow-up is required, and attention should be paid to the tendency of malignancy. Clean the vulva regularly and trace the cause of the disease. If there are fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, excessive leucorrhea, or other vaginal inflammatory diseases, corresponding treatment should be given. Vitamin A can be tried.
Corticosteroid ointment and estrogen ointment can be used locally. Alternatively, the following formula can be used: ethinyl estradiol, borneol, menthol, indigo naturalis, and lanolin mixed into an ointment for external use. If there are no obvious neoplasms, electrocoagulation or cryotherapy can be used to treat skin lesions. If there are neoplasms, they should be removed. If there are multiple skin lesions, in principle, they should be removed. Surgical resection should be performed promptly for those with malignancy.
According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, insufficient essence and blood, weakness of the Conception Vessel, and atrophy of the vulva are the main reasons for the occurrence of nutritional disorders and lesions in the vulva. Herbal fumigation and washing can be used to eliminate spots and relieve itching while repairing damaged tissues at the affected area, thus achieving the purpose of treating both the symptoms and the root cause of vulvar leukoplakia. Patients with vulvar leukoplakia can be cured. During treatment, it is important to seize the optimal treatment time and adopt a systematic approach.
