How much do you know about the treatment of female vulvar leukoplakia? The emergence of gynecological diseases has put many female friends into an extremely painful dilemma, and vulvar leukoplakia is one of them, and it is relatively harmful, so female friends must not delay treatment. So, how much do you know about the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia? The following is a detailed introduction for everyone.

For the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia, corticosteroids can be applied topically to control itching. 0.025% fluocinolone ointment or 0.1% triamcinolone ointment can be used 3-4 times a day. Because long-term use of steroid drugs can cause local skin atrophy, when the itching symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are relieved, high-efficiency steroid drugs are discontinued and replaced with mild 1%-2% hydrocortisone ointment, 1-2 times a day, for maintenance treatment. In order to promote drug absorption, warm water sitz baths can be used before topical medication for vulvar leukoplakia, 2-3 times a day, each time for 10-15 minutes, to soften the skin and relieve itching symptoms. The treatment is effective for most patients with vulvar leukoplakia, but long-term medication is required.

Focused ultrasound treatment of vulvar leukoplakia is a minimally invasive treatment technology developed in recent years. Focused ultrasound has energy permeability and focusing in biological tissues. By accurately focusing ultrasound energy in vitro, it produces transient high temperature effect (65-100 degrees) and cavitation effect in the diseased tissue. Focused ultrasound treatment of vulvar leukoplakia is to focus the ultrasound focal area on the dermis, causing the tissues in the dermis, including blood vessels and nerve endings, to degenerate, promote local neovascularization, and improve the nutritional status of nerve endings, thereby effectively relieving the itching symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia and restoring the diseased skin to normal. However, due to the short application time of this technology, its long-term efficacy and optimized parameters need further study.

For patients with severe vulvar leukoplakia or those who are ineffective with 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, recurrence can occur. In addition, the chance of vulvar leukoplakia becoming malignant is extremely small, so surgical treatment is rarely used at present. For the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia, you can also prepare medicinal materials such as 15 grams each of Su Mu, roasted turtle shell, verbena, 30 grams of raw earth, and 9 grams of gentian. Put the Chinese medicines such as Su Mu, roasted turtle shell, verbena, raw earth, and gentian together and grind them into fine powder. Drink it three times a day, about three grams each time, or boil it into soup for consumption.

The above is the introduction to the treatment of female vulvar leukoplakia. I hope it will be helpful for everyone to understand. Female vulvar leukoplakia patients must actively cooperate with doctors for symptomatic treatment after diagnosis. During the treatment, they should also take relevant nursing measures, such as wearing loose and breathable underwear, which can promote the recovery of the disease.
