Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I often feel itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me what dietary precautions I should take for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, those with white inflammation need to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the external genital area at all times. Do not pull or scratch with your hands, avoid spicy foods, and wear loose clothing. It is absolutely forbidden to wear tight, non-breathable synthetic fiber underwear. Avoid using alkaline soaps or irritating medications to wash the area, and do not use hot water to scald it. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a balance between work and rest, prevent excessive stress, and avoid scratching the external genital area. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to regular exercise and maintain a cheerful mood. The recurrence of leukoplakia of the external genitalia poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients need to pay attention to follow-up examinations after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
