Patient's question:
Patient Age: 60Medical History and Treatment: Diagnosed with vulvar leukoplakia and underwent laser treatment
Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is a common external genital disease in women. Due to its inevitable relationship with vulvar cancer, some women consider it a precancerous lesion. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to clean the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods. When necessary, seek medical attention for diagnosis and treatment to prevent symptoms from worsening. Pay attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness and dryness, avoid using highly irritating medications or soaps to clean the vulva, do not wear non-breathable synthetic underwear, and avoid consuming spicy and easily allergenic foods. For those with severe itching symptoms that lead to insomnia, additional sedative, hypnotic, and anti-allergic medications can be used.
