What is going on with leukoplakia in the external genitalia?

Patient's question:

My wife has been suffering from leukoplakia of the vulva for several years. She has been receiving treatment, but it hasn't improved at all. It wasn't very serious before, and due to training commitments, she didn't have time for treatment. However, recently, my wife said that the white patches on her vulva have increased, and she is experiencing severe itching and pain. I am worried that her condition has worsened.

Doctor's answer:

In daily life, wear loose and breathable underwear and pants, with pure cotton products as the basis, and avoid wearing nylon or other synthetic fiber underwear;
(2) Keep the affected area dry, ventilated, and cool;
(3) Some women are overly clean, with the habit of wiping the external genitalia once or many times a day;
(4) In daily life, pay attention to managing stress and adjusting emotions, always maintaining a positive and cheerful mood. In this regard, family members of patients should actively cooperate to help them build confidence in overcoming the disease. Vulvar leukoplakia is a disease that is difficult to recover from.
