Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy in my external genital area, but it's not particularly severe, so I haven't gone to the hospital for a thorough examination. I bought some topical medications to wash and apply myself, and they have had some effect. However, a few days ago while taking a bath, I noticed some white spots on my external genital area. How can vulvar leukoplakia be treated to improve?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar white lesions, vulvar nutritional deficiency, or vulvar nutritional disorders, affects approximately 5-10 per 1000 women. This condition is not contagious but can be inherited across generations, with a high rate of heritability. It is recommended to seek medical diagnosis and treatment. In daily life, wear loose and breathable underwear and pants, maintain vulvar hygiene, and apply protective ointments when itching is severe. In addition to timely treatment for vulvar leukoplakia, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to dietary care, ensuring a balanced diet and proper digestion of nutrients, believing that this will help drive away vulvar leukoplakia.
