Patient's question:
I have had leukoplakia of the vulva for two years, but I haven't gone for a follow-up check-up. No medicine has worked, and I've never paid attention to it. Recently, I noticed that the condition has worsened a bit—there's intense itching and white patches locally. I don't know if this disease can still be cured. Which hospital would be the best to go for a follow-up? Which hospital is best for treating leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to seek medical advice promptly at a formal hospital. In daily life, wear loose and breathable underwear and pants, preferably made of pure cotton, to avoid wearing synthetic fabrics like polyester. Keep the affected area dry, well-ventilated, and cool; wear absorbent, breathable, loose, soft, 100% cotton underwear. Avoid wearing synthetic fabrics like polyester. Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, avoid irritation and friction, and do not scratch. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume more foods rich in trace elements such as iron, copper, and manganese. Wishing you a speedy recovery! In addition to treating leukoplakia of the vulva, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a cheerful mood in daily life.
