What should be paid attention to before surgery for vulvar leukoplakia

Patient's question:

There is a burning sensation in the private area and unbearable itching, accompanied by pain. The clitoris is atrophied and whitish, suspected to be leukoplakia of the vulva. What should be paid attention to before the leukoplakia of the vulva surgery?

Doctor's answer:

During the treatment process, attention should be paid to nursing and management, combining treatment with care. Sexual activity should be suspended, and the external genital area must always be kept clean. Avoid using commercial cleaning agents for wiping. When itching is severe, protective ointments can be applied to relieve it. It is important to try to restrain oneself from scratching as much as possible. Do not wear tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and reduce the intake of irritating foods.
In addition, during the treatment of leukoplakia of the vulva, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must prevent excessive mental tension and worry to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of leukoplakia of the vulva.
