Vulvar leukoplakia for 40 years

Vulvar leukoplakia is a diffuse white patch that appears on the female genitals, mainly distributed on the inner thighs, perineum and anus. Vulvar leukoplakia will cause itching and sometimes pain. The affected skin will become dry and lose elasticity. This disease is very difficult to treat. Some people have not recovered from vulvar leukoplakia for 40 years. The key is to receive formal treatment.

Vulvar leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches that appear on the skin of women's genitals. They can spread to the inner sides of the lower limbs, perineum and anus, but rarely invade the urethral opening and vestibule. Symptoms include genital itching, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, and even atrophy and ulceration, as well as pain and burning sensation.

Disease care

⑴ In daily life, you should pay attention to regulating life pressure and emotions, and stay optimistic and cheerful. In this regard, the patient's family should actively cooperate to help them build up confidence in overcoming the disease.

⑵ Actively treat chronic diseases, such as diabetes, endocrine diseases and immune system diseases. Actively treat vaginitis, vulvitis and various diseases that cause increased vaginal discharge.

⑶ Some women are too clean and have the habit of washing their vulva once or several times a day. Here we recommend that since the female vulva has a self-cleaning function, it is usually sufficient to wash it 2-3 times a week. Do not use any detergents when washing (because they are generally alkaline), just use warm water to wash, and be careful not to use too hot water.

⑷ In daily life, you should wear loose and breathable underwear, mainly made of pure cotton, and avoid wearing underwear made of chemical fibers such as acrylic.

⑸ The affected area should be kept dry, ventilated and cool; wear moisture-absorbing, breathable, loose, soft, pure cotton underwear, or underwear made of chemical fibers such as acrylic.

⑹ Keep the vulva clean, reduce irritation and friction, and avoid scratching.

⑺Keep a good mood. Pay attention to regulating life stress and emotions in daily life, stay optimistic, cheerful and get enough sleep. In this regard, the patient's family should actively cooperate to help them build up confidence in overcoming the disease.

⑻ Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Eat more seafood that contains more trace elements such as iron, copper, manganese, such as walnuts, sesame seeds, mushrooms, tofu, green vegetables, fungus, carrots, lean meat, pig blood, oysters, conchs and sea cucumbers.

Patients are prohibited from eating the following foods: alcohol, raw onions, raw garlic, chili peppers, freshwater fish (crucian carp, silver carp, grass carp, carp), shrimps and crabs, chicken, duck and goose. The vulva is very damp: avoid eating sugar, sweets, apples, and avoid cold and greasy foods.

⑼ Combine work and rest, increase physical exercise appropriately, and improve the body's immunity.
