Treatment of vulvar leukoplakia

Many people are unfamiliar with vulvar leukoplakia. It is a gynecological disease that many patients are deeply troubled by. Let's take a look at the treatment methods of vulvar leukoplakia to help patients better treat vulvar leukoplakia.

The treatment of vulvar leukoplakia is divided into: general treatment and traditional Chinese medicine treatment

General treatment:

"Leukoplakia of the vulva" must be treated for a long time. Some of the skin in the affected area is thickened like leather; some is thin, dry and easy to crack, and even ulcers and nodules appear. If the skin of the vulva turns white, whether it itches or not, you should go to the hospital for examination. If the skin is thickened, rough, raised, ulcerated, cracked, or hardened, you should be more vigilant and can undergo surgical treatment if necessary.

Consultation on Chinese Medicine Gynecological Diseases Leukoplakia of the vulva develops slowly. In the past, it was believed that the chance of canceration was mostly treated with surgical excision, but surgical treatment is not advocated now. In the late stage, the vaginal opening may contract and narrow, the vulva will also shrink, the clitoris will shrink, and the surrounding tissues will lose elasticity. Since "white lesions of the vulva" are more stubborn, long-term treatment and regular follow-up are required. It is better to follow up every 3 to 6 months, and generally satisfactory results can be achieved after persistent treatment.

Vulvar leukoplakia is usually accompanied by extreme itching, which can last for several months or even 20 years. This itching is unbearable regardless of season and day or night. If accompanied by trichomonas vaginitis or candidal vaginitis, the itching will be aggravated. Since the cause is unknown, there is no specific treatment. Laser therapy can be tried, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to relieve itching, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. Usually, pay attention to keep it clean and dry, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to clean the vulva, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Clothes should be loose and changed frequently, and pay attention to wearing soft cotton products. The second symptom is vaginal flatulence, that is, the vaginal opening can produce or inhale gas, and then discharge it with a sound like farting.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is qi deficiency, while Western medicine believes that it is related to the weakness of the pubococcygeus muscle at the bottom of the perineum. Due to the atrophy of the vulva, the vaginal opening is not tightly closed, so gas is easy to flow in. Pubococcygeus muscle training can help overcome this problem. This symptom occurs after childbirth, when the vagina has not yet recovered after dilation. The pubococcygeus muscle around the vagina becomes thinner and weaker, and cannot close the vagina tightly, making it easy for gas to flow in or remain in the vagina. The gas is expelled only when the abdomen is tightened. If the patient can insist on exercising the pubococcygeus muscle every day, it will definitely be effective after a few months.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment:

Vulvar white lesions, also known as chronic vulvar dystrophy, refer to a group of diseases that cause tissue degeneration and pigment changes due to nutritional disorders of the vulvar skin and mucous membranes. The formation of this disease is mostly related to the malnutrition of the nerves and blood vessels in the deep connective tissue of the vulva, which leads to pathological changes in the skin covering it.

According to the pathological characteristics and clinical symptoms of different diseases, Chinese medicine treats them as "vulvar itch" or "vulvar sore". Vulvar itch is accompanied by wind, while vulvar sore is accompanied by dampness and heat. This disease mostly occurs in women of childbearing age and old age, and is rare in girls.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that vulvar itching is caused by wind-heat in the liver meridian or heat accumulation in spleen deficiency. For example, if kidney deficiency cannot dissolve in the genitals, wind evil dissolves in the skin and can cause vulvar itching and vaginal sores. Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that insufficient essence and blood, deficiency of the Ren meridian, and withering of the genitals. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, insufficient essence and blood, deficiency of the kidney and spleen, and hyperactivity of the liver are the main causes of vulvar nutritional disorders. Therefore, the general treatment principle is to treat both the symptoms and the root causes. One is to stop itching, reduce inflammation, and moisturize the skin to eliminate symptoms; the second is to eliminate the inducement. You can use Chinese medicine vulvar tinea clear liquid for external application therapy. First, wash the genitals with warm water, then take a cotton swab or a sterile cotton ball dipped in the liquid medicine, apply it to the affected area of ​​the vulva, and apply it repeatedly three times, once a day.
