Patient's question:
I am not married yet. Recently, I went for a physical examination and was told that I have leukoplakia of the vulva. Is this disease serious? Will it affect my future pregnancy? Please ask: How is leukoplakia of the vulva treated best?Doctor's answer:
(1) In daily life, wear loose and breathable underwear and pants, with pure cotton products as the basis, and avoid wearing polyester or other synthetic fiber underwear;(2) Keep the affected area dry, ventilated, and cool at all times;
(3) Some women are overly clean and have the habit of washing their external genitalia once or multiple times a day. We recommend that since the female external genitalia have self-cleaning functions, it is generally sufficient to wash them 2-3 times a week. When washing, do not use any detergents (as they are usually alkaline), only use warm water. Avoid using water that is too hot;
(4) In daily life, pay attention to adjusting life stress and emotions, always maintaining a positive attitude and cheerful mood. In this regard, family members of patients should actively cooperate to help them build confidence in overcoming the disease.
