What are the treatments for vulvar leukoplakia atrophy?

What are the treatments for vulvar leukoplakia atrophy? The rampant gynecological diseases in recent years have prevented many female friends from enjoying a healthy and beautiful life. The treatment process of this disease is very long and the harm is also very great. In severe cases, it will cause vulvar atrophy and needs timely treatment. Let's take a look at the treatments for vulvar leukoplakia atrophy.

1. Surgical treatment of vulvar leukoplakia: For patients with severe disease or ineffective drug treatment, superficial vulvar excision can be performed, but the recurrence rate of surgical excision is high, not only at the excision edge, but even in transplanted skin. In addition, the disease has a very low chance of malignant transformation, so surgical treatment is rarely used at present.

2. Physical therapy for vulvar leukoplakia: Suitable for patients with severe conditions or those who are ineffective with drug treatment. Focused ultrasound treatment for vulvar leukoplakia is a minimally invasive treatment technology developed in recent years. It focuses the ultrasound focal area on the dermis, causing the tissues in the dermis, including blood vessels and nerve endings, to degenerate, promote local angiogenesis, and improve the nutritional status of nerve endings, thereby effectively relieving itching symptoms and restoring the diseased skin to normal.

3. Medication for vulvar leukoplakia: The main drugs are testosterone propionate ointment and progesterone ointment. The efficacy of medication for vulvar leukoplakia is relatively high, but most of them can only improve symptoms but not cure them, and long-term medication is required. Acitretin is an aromatic synthetic substance similar to retinoic acid. It has the function of maintaining the normal function and structure of the epithelium and mucous membrane, and can relieve the itching symptoms of the skin. It has been effectively used in severe vulvar leukoplakia, and is taken orally at a rate of 20-30 mg per day. In addition, oral administration of multiple vitamins can improve the overall nutritional status. For those who suffer from insomnia due to mental tension and obvious suppression of itching symptoms, sedatives, hypnotics, and desensitization drugs can be taken orally.

Vulvar leukoplakia is not caused by lack of nutrition in the body, so it is necessary to start from the daily little things. The vulva should be kept clean, and it is strictly forbidden to abuse drugs and avoid washing with soap or other irritating drugs. Avoid scratching when itching is severe. Underwear should be soft, absorbent cotton fabrics, and should be loose and comfortable, and washed and changed frequently.

Warm reminder: The appearance of vulvar leukoplakia symptoms causes great pain to female patients. Therefore, after diagnosis, patients must actively cooperate with the doctor for symptomatic treatment. During the treatment, the affected area should be kept dry, ventilated and cool. Only in this way can the safety and effectiveness of the treatment be guaranteed.
