Patient's question:
I am a high school teacher, and I have been quite busy with studies recently. Teachers have also been working overtime and staying up late, and I always feel unwell. My leukorrhea has increased, and there is a strong odor. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I found two white patches on my vulva. The doctor said I have vulvar leukoplakia, which requires treatment. What should vulvar leukoplakia patients pay attention to in their daily lives?Doctor's answer:
Women suffering from vulvar leukoplakia should wear loose, breathable underwear and pants, preferably made of pure cotton, and avoid wearing synthetic fabrics like polyester. It is essential to keep the affected area dry, well-ventilated, and cool. Wear absorbent, loose, soft, 100% cotton underwear. Avoid synthetic fabrics like polyester. Maintain vulvar cleanliness to prevent irritation and friction, and avoid scratching. Always maintain a positive mood and pay attention to managing daily stress and emotions. Stay optimistic, cheerful, and ensure adequate deep sleep. In addition to seeking timely treatment for vulvar leukoplakia, patients should adopt a positive attitude toward the disease. Only with this mindset can they receive timely and appropriate treatment. Furthermore, patients should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor any changes in their symptoms, believing that this will help drive away vulvar leukoplakia.
