Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my external genital area again. Besides that, my vaginal discharge has been increasing, and I can also smell a strange odor. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor found several small white spots on my external genital area. The doctor's diagnosis was leukoplakia of the vulva, and I'm so upset.Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genital area, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus, but rarely affects the urethral opening or vestibule. Symptoms include itching in the genital area, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, even swelling and rupture, accompanied by pain and a burning sensation.Suitable foods: Tofu, soy milk, milk, spinach, Chinese yam, cabbage, rapeseed, mushrooms, lean meat, eggs, crucian carp, apples, pear, jujubes, peanuts, black rice, etc.
Vulvar leukoplakia greatly affects patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, dietary issues should be given more attention, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that vulvar leukoplakia patients can receive professional treatment.
