Patient's question:
I am a 61-year-old woman who suddenly felt unwell and, after a check-up, was diagnosed with this disease. Please ask: What are the initial symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
The main symptom is severe itching of the external genitalia. The duration of itching ranges from 2 to 3 months from onset to treatment, with some cases lasting as long as 20 years. The intensity of itching is not affected by season or time of day. Patients with squamous hyperplasia of the external genitalia experience even more severe itching. Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
