Patient's question:
I am a 60-year-old woman who suddenly felt unwell and, after a check-up, was diagnosed with this disease. Could you please tell me: What are the common symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
The main symptom of vulvar leukoplakia is vulvar itching, which can persist for a long time. Vaginal discharge may continuously increase, and there may be a stinging sensation locally. Some patients may also experience skin erosion and infection again due to scratching. Patients with vulvar leukoplakia must keep the vulva clean and maintain dryness at all times to prevent tearing. Cotton underwear and pants should be worn to increase friction and infection.Then, patients need to follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
