Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've found it very dry, and I've also been constantly feeling 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: How should patients with leukoplakia of the vulva take care of themselves in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Hello, as you described, once a patient is diagnosed with vulvar leukoplakia, it is important to promptly undergo skin tissue and cell treatment in the hospital to control the lesion and fade the leukoplakia. At the same time, daily care should primarily focus on rinsing the vulvar area with mild salt water in the morning and evening, as it is necessary to inhibit the vulvar flora to avoid affecting the treatment of leukoplakia degeneration. I wish you good health. For vulvar leukoplakia patients, in addition to regular treatment, it is also essential to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating fewer spicy and irritating foods. Finally, I advise female patients to undergo follow-up examinations regularly!
