Patient's question:
It started last week, and the area has already started to itch a bit. Rubbing it with my hand hasn't helped, and it's kept me up for two nights. Later, I used some anti-swelling and pain-relieving liquid, but it didn't work. Today, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and they said I have something called "vulvar leukoplakia." I've never heard of this term before. The doctor advised me to be careful about it in the future. How much alcohol does it take to develop alcoholic liver disease?Doctor's answer:
To prevent vulvar leukoplakia outside of work, pay attention to menstrual hygiene and change menstrual pads frequently during menstruation. Always keep the vulva clean and dry. Avoid hot water soaking and soapy scrubbing. Underwear should be loose, breathable, and preferably made of cotton. Avoid alcohol and spicy foods, as well as seafood and other easily allergenic foods. Avoid indiscriminate use of harmful medications, scratching, and local friction. In addition to timely treatment for vulvar leukoplakia, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a cheerful mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to achieve good treatment results.
