Patient's question:
I don't know when it started, but I've been experiencing vulvar itching, and the skin in that area has become very dry. It hurts at night, and the itching is especially severe. I've started just rinsing it with plain water, which provides some relief, but if I don't wash it for a couple of days, the itching and pain return, making it hard to sit or stand comfortably. Even napping during the day is difficult, and my mood is also not good. Now, my energy is very low.Could you please tell me what to use to wash for leukoplakia of the vulva?
Doctor's answer:
Patients with vulvar leukoplakia should pay attention to hygiene. They can wash with clean water or use some gynecological cleaning agents, but they must never use alkaline water like soapy water, as it will worsen the condition. It is recommended to wear loose-fitting clothing and pure cotton underwear. Additionally, during the treatment period, the patient's diet and care are also crucial. The patient should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries.
