How to properly treat leukoplakia of the vulva

Patient's question:

Female, 30, recently feels a bit itchy in her private area, and it seems the color is a bit different, a bit whitish. After checking at the hospital, it was said to be vulvar leukoplakia. Please ask: How should vulvar leukoplakia be treated appropriately?

Doctor's answer:

In daily life, it is important to pay attention to the adjustment of survival pressure and emotions, and always maintain a positive attitude and cheerful mood. In this regard, family members of patients should actively cooperate with each other to help them build confidence in overcoming the disease. Some women are overly hygienic, with the habit of cleaning the external genital area once or many times a day. Here, we recommend that since the external genital area of women has self-cleaning functions, it is generally sufficient to clean 2-3 times a week. When cleaning, do not use any detergent as it is usually alkaline; only lukewarm water should be used. It is strictly forbidden for the water temperature to be too hot.
