Patient's question:
I felt itchy and had a bad smell in my external genital area a few days ago, so I went to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said I had leukoplakia of the external genitalia and prescribed some medication for me. To get better faster, I wanted to ask the doctor again what precautions are needed for leukoplakia of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia, the cause of which remains unclear to this day, may be related to vaginal moisture and increased vaginal discharge. It is recommended to maintain vaginal hygiene at all times, avoid spicy foods, and prevent the use of irritating liquid solutions for vaginal washing. Bacitracin ointment can be used for local application combined with light therapy. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, wear breathable cotton underwear, and avoid wearing leather underwear. The recurrence of vaginal leukoplakia severely harms women's health. Patients should pay attention to follow-up checks after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive standardized treatment.
