Patient's question:
I would like to consult a gynecologist. If there is leukoplakia of the vulva, what are the dietary precautions for leukoplakia of the vulva? I have never had it before, and it may be because I couldn't see the vulva and didn't realize it until this year. I'm afraid it's caused by diet and have been very worried.Doctor's answer:
The main cause of vulvar leukoplakia is still due to infections in the genital area or irritation from vaginal inflammatory secretions, or frequent wearing of synthetic underwear that stimulates the vulva, leading to recurrent inflammation and redness, gradually forming vulvar leukoplakia. Another possible cause could be hereditary transmission across generations or endocrine disorders. Vulvar leukoplakia is not significantly related to diet, but when symptoms are severe, it is recommended to follow a light diet and avoid excessively spicy foods to alleviate symptoms.
