Patient's question:
I currently have some spots on the vulva and am being treated at the hospital. What are the nursing measures for vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, change menstrual pads frequently during menstruation. Always keep the external genital area clean and dry. Do not use hot water to soak or soap to scrub. This is one of the nursing measures for leukoplakia of the external genitalia. Underwear should be loose, breathable, and preferably made of cotton. Avoid alcohol and spicy foods, and do not eat seafood or other foods that are easily allergenic. When patients face the distress of leukoplakia of the external genitalia, we should promptly implement the principle of symptomatic treatment. Do not avoid seeking medical attention. If leukoplakia of the external genitalia does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
