Doctor's answer:

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. Absolutely avoid tight, non-breathable synthetic fiber underwear. Avoid using alkaline soaps or irritating medications to wash the area, nor should hot water be used. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a balance between work and rest, prevent excessive stress, and avoid scratching the external genital area. In addition, it is important to pay attention to regular exercise and maintain a cheerful mood. Leukoplakia of the external genitalia is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to the hygiene of the vaginal area, with a light diet as the foundation. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
