Patient's question:
Often feel severe itching in the groin area. After using the restroom, the itching feels even worse. Later, I noticed white patches on the external genitalia. I am very anxious. I hope it can get better quickly. I don't know what to do if white patches appear on the vulva. What are the treatment methods for vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Precautions for patients with vulvar leukoplakia (1) Wear loose and breathable underwear and pants in daily life. (2) Always keep the affected area dry, ventilated, and cool. (3) Some women are overly clean and have the habit of washing the vulva once or many times a day. Here, we recommend that since the female vulva has self-cleaning properties, it is generally sufficient to wash 2-3 times a week. When washing, do not use any detergent (as it is usually alkaline), just use warm water to wash. Never use water that is too hot. (4) In daily life, pay attention to adjusting stress and emotions, and always maintain a positive attitude and cheerful mood.
