Patient's question:
24-year-old female has been feeling quite tired recently, and her body has been feeling unhealthy. Could it be that she has this disease? Please ask: Can vulvar leukoplakia be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is difficult to alleviate, which also means there is a possibility of improvement. Treating vulvar leukoplakia requires long-term treatment. The affected skin may thicken like leather, or it may become thin, dry, and easily broken, even leading to ulcers or lumps.The skin of the vulva may turn white, and whether it itches or not, it is important to seek medical examination. If the skin is thickened, rough, raised, has ulcers, cracks, or lumps, it is even more important to be cautious. Surgical treatment may be necessary if needed.
Spicy foods, including fried foods, chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, mustard, pepper, and ginger, as well as alcohol and alcoholic beverages, should be avoided. Vulvar leukoplakia patients consuming such foods may experience severe vulvar itching.
