Patient's question:
Some of my former friends are now suffering from diseases, most of them suffering from high blood pressure. My blood pressure is a bit high too, but I don't need to take medication, just pay attention to diet. Yesterday, an old colleague called to say he had developed leukoplakia of the vulva. I've never heard of this disease before. How can this disease be prevented?Doctor's answer:
There are several factors that can lead to vulvar leukoplakia. The skin of the elderly is naturally drier, so bathing should not be too frequent, and the use of soap for bathing should be minimized to reduce irritation to the skin. It is also important to maintain cleanliness in the private area. Patients directly face the impact of vulvar leukoplakia, so we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If vulvar leukoplakia does not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be adopted in a timely manner.
