Patient's question:
It started around March of this year. I noticed two white spots on my vulva. At the time, I didn't pay much attention, thinking they were just ordinary skin spots. Recently, I've seen that the white spots have spread to the anal area and have grown quite large. What should I do if vulvar leukoplakia affects the anus?Doctor's answer:
Your condition should be checked at the hospital to determine whether it is vulvar leukoplakia or vulvar vitiligo, so that timely symptomatic and etiological treatment can be administered. You should maintain vulvar cleanliness at all times, avoid spicy foods, wear loose underwear to prevent moisture, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and use mild soaps for vulvar washing. Regular deep sleep, avoid staying up late, and engage in more aerobic exercise. Vulvar leukoplakia is a disease that is difficult to recover from. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they improve their confidence in combating vulvar leukoplakia and believe that recovery is certain.
