Patient's question:
Sister-in-law has been divorced for two years and has had a child. She has been experiencing itching and a bad odor in her lower abdomen, and sometimes it also hurts. She has never dared to tell her brother-in-law and has avoided intimacy with him, fearing she might infect him. How should the nursing care for vulvar leukoplakia be?Doctor's answer:
⑴ In daily life, attention should be paid to the adjustment of life stress and emotions, always maintaining an optimistic attitude and a cheerful mood. In this regard, family members of patients should actively cooperate with each other to help them build confidence in overcoming the disease. Some women are overly hygienic, with the habit of washing the external genitalia once or several times a day. Here, we suggest that since the external genitalia of women have self-cleaning effects, it is generally sufficient to wash them 2-3 times a week. When washing, do not use any detergent (as they are generally alkaline), just use warm water to wash. Never use water that is too hot. In addition to timely treatment, patients with leukoplakia of the external genitalia also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A good mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. We hope the above answers can assist you.
