Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit itchy in my private area, and it seems the color is a bit different, a bit whitish. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was leukoplakia of the vulva. I'd like to ask: What can someone with leukoplakia of the vulva eat?Doctor's answer:
(1) In daily life, it is advisable to wear loose and breathable underwear and pants, with pure cotton products as the foundation, and avoid wearing underwear made of synthetic fibers such as polyester.(2) The affected area should always be kept dry, well-ventilated, and cool.
(3) Some women tend to be overly clean, with the habit of washing the external genital area once or multiple times a day. We recommend that since the external genital area has self-cleaning properties, it is generally sufficient to wash it 2-3 times a week. When washing, avoid using any detergents (as they are usually alkaline), and simply use warm water. Never use excessively hot water.
(4) In daily life, it is important to pay attention to managing life stress and emotions, always maintaining a positive attitude and cheerful mood. For patients with leukoplakia of the external genitalia, in addition to symptomatic treatment, self-care is also crucial, such as paying attention to maintaining cleanliness!
