Three things that patients with vulvar leukoplakia should not ignore

Vulvar leukoplakia is also called vulvar dystrophy or vulvar precancerous lesions. Due to the lesions of cells, the vulva cannot absorb nutrients from the body, resulting in vulvar itching, vulvar skin pigmentation degeneration, etc. In order to promote the complete recovery of patients, patients should pay special attention to three aspects of care on weekdays.

1.Diet care

Vulvar leukoplakia is a disease caused by vulvar malnutrition, so dietary adjustment is very important in life. Spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, and more seafood containing high levels of iron, copper, manganese and other trace elements such as walnuts, sesame seeds, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, green vegetables, fungus, carrots, pig blood, oysters, conchs and sea cucumbers should be eaten.

2. Vulvar hygiene care

Itching is one of the more obvious symptoms of patients with vulvar leukoplakia. Be sure not to scratch the itch to avoid infection. Do a good job of daily vaginal care, clean the vulva in time, keep it dry and clean, wear moisture-absorbent, breathable, loose, soft, cotton underwear, do not wear underwear made of chemical fibers such as acrylic, and wash the underwear frequently.

3. Adjust your mindset

Vulvar leukoplakia often recurs, and vulvar itching can easily cause patients to be irritable and anxious, which is not conducive to the treatment of the disease. In daily life, we should pay attention to the regulation of life pressure and emotions, and keep an optimistic mood and cheerful mood. The family members of the patients should actively cooperate with this to help them build confidence in overcoming the disease.
