Can vulvar leukoplakia be cured? How should it be treated?

Vulvar leukoplakia is a disease that can be cured. If active and effective treatment is carried out when the disease occurs, the chance of cure is very high. However, the treatment time for patients with severe conditions will be longer. For patients with recurrence, the treatment time will be relatively longer.

Vulvar leukoplakia is caused by white lesions on the vulva, and is a relatively common gynecological disease. After suffering from this disease, the vulva will have a more obvious itching sensation. This situation is likely related to the genetic tissue in the body, and is also closely related to the body's own immune status. It may also be caused by a lack of sex hormones. So can vulvar leukoplakia be cured?
1. Can vulvar leukoplakia be cured? <br/> Vulvar leukoplakia can be cured.

2. Treatment of vulvar leukoplakia
1. General treatment <br/>For vulvar leukoplakia, the situation is not very serious. Patients usually only need to keep the vulva clean and dry, and do not use irritating drugs or soap to clean the vulva. When choosing underwear, try not to wear non-breathable synthetic underwear. If the itching symptoms are very severe and insomnia has occurred, you can choose to use sedatives or anti-allergic drugs for treatment.
2. Drug treatment <br/>If sclerosing lichen has appeared on the vulva, you can choose to use pyruvic acid ointment for treatment. You can also choose to use compound vitamin A ointment or progesterone ointment. These drugs have a good therapeutic effect on vulvar leukoplakia. Glucocorticoid ointments are also effective in relieving vulvar leukoplakia. You can also choose to use immunotherapy and apply hydrocortisone ointment on the vulva.
3. Physical therapy <br/>For patients who do not see significant improvement with medication, physical therapy is relatively better. Microwave therapy is a very common treatment method, which uses carbon dioxide laser and helium-neon laser for treatment. High-frequency electric knife or Bohm light also have good therapeutic effects. You can also choose local electrocautery or liquid nitrogen cryotherapy.
