Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I've also been experiencing persistent itching in my outer vaginal area. After a checkup, I was told it's vulvar leukoplakia. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me what I should eat if I have vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the treatment of leukoplakia of the vulva, it is necessary to cut off the inflammation of the leukoplakia, repair vulvar skin damage, completely restore the normal function of vulvar skin tissue cells, stabilize the nutritional status of its microvessels and nerve endings, change the local tissue growth environment, promote the regeneration of local tissues, and gradually completely eliminate the leukoplakia. During the recovery process, attention should be paid to nursing and management, combining treatment and care, temporarily suspending sexual activity, and maintaining vulvar cleanliness at all times. Do not use many cleansers on the market for washing. When itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied. Try to control yourself and avoid scratching. Do not wear tight or low-permeability synthetic underwear, and eat less irritating foods.
