Patient's question:
I have experienced the recurrence of numerous leukoplakia on the vulva recently, accompanied by some itching. The skin is very dry and has lost its elasticity. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have vulvar leukoplakia. The doctor recommended that I seek treatment from a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner at a TCM hospital, as this would help me recover more quickly.Doctor's answer:
Patients with vulvar leukoplakia often experience recurrence of itching, with the vulva developing numerous white patches again. The skin may also be affected, showing signs of dryness and loss of elasticity.Dietary restrictions for vulvar leukoplakia: Avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy, irritating foods. Avoid greasy, fried, moldy, and pickled foods. Avoid foods that trigger exacerbations, such as chicken and goose. During severe itching, avoid seafood and foods that cause irritation or allergic reactions. For ulcers or broken skin, avoid foods with warming properties.
