Patient's question:
I am suffering from leukoplakia of the vulva, and it has been more than 3 years. At that time, the condition was not serious, and I was embarrassed to seek treatment. After that, I didn't pay attention to it. Six months ago, it worsened, and I didn't know what to do. I searched for a lot of information and found many different opinions about leukoplakia of the vulva. I am particularly worried about the trouble this disease might bring me if it cannot be cured. Can leukoplakia of the vulva be cured?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia is curable. In terms of diet, it's important to consume more nutritious foods with a light and simple base. Suitable foods include tofu, soy milk, milk, spinach, Chinese yam, cabbage, rapeseed, mushrooms, lean meat, jujubes, peanuts, and black rice, among others. It's essential to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to wash the vulva, and refrain from consuming irritating foods. Additionally, during the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia, apart from timely medical care, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. Patients must maintain a light diet while consistently keeping a cheerful and optimistic mindset to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vulvar leukoplakia.
