Patient's question:
I developed leukoplakia of the vulva last year. Now, my vulvar area has started to become slightly swollen, and it's very itchy. I would like to consult about relief methods for leukoplakia of the vulva.Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, the condition where the skin and mucosa of the external genitalia become white, rough, or atrophic is often collectively referred to as "leukoplakia of the vulva."In terms of diet, avoid spicy and greasy foods, as well as fatty and meaty dishes. Examples include garlic, ginger, scallions, seafood, freshwater fish, large cuts of meat, lamb, dog meat, and poultry like chickens, ducks, and geese. Instead, consume more vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in trace elements such as iron, copper, and manganese. Examples include walnuts, sesame seeds, peanuts, mushrooms, tofu, green vegetables, black fungus, carrots, lean meat, pig blood, oysters, abalone, and sea snails.
During the healing period, alcohol must be strictly prohibited, along with spicy foods like chili peppers, raw scallions, and raw garlic, as well as other extremely cold and irritating foods.
