Patient's question:
I was carefully diagnosed with vulvar leukoplakia. Recently, I've been feeling particularly itchy around the urethral opening, apart from the vulvar area. I've already been prescribed some medication by the hospital and have started using it. It seems to be a bit effective, at least the itching isn't as unbearable anymore. Could I still eat spicy food with vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
People with vulvar leukoplakia need to pay more attention to their diet and should avoid spicy and irritating foods. Moreover, the treatment process for vulvar leukoplakia is relatively long and cannot be cured simply by using some topical preparations. Therefore, you must lower your expectations. Pay attention to a healthy diet in your daily life. Vulvar leukoplakia patients can use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment while understanding professional medical treatment. They should maintain a proper diet in daily life and avoid irritating foods.
