Vulvar leukoplakia is a well-known gynecological disease with multiple causes. After the disease, it seriously affects the patient's normal life and poses a particularly serious threat to the body. We must clarify its harmfulness and do a good job in daily prevention.
The hazards of vitiligo in the external genitalia
1. Patients with vulvar vitiligo are more common in women, and the disease can occur in any age group. However, there are more menopausal patients around the age of 50, and the etiology of young female patients is often related to genetics. The duration of vulvar vitiligo varies, with the elderly reaching several decades.
2. Vulvar leukoplakia is highly harmful to women. After suffering from this disease, the external genitalia itching becomes unbearable, with paroxysmal itching, and at night, especially burning and drying discomfort, seriously affecting sleep.
3. The skin and mucous membranes of the external genitalia become white or alternate with light red, with rough and uneven surfaces, as well as cracks, ulcers, erosion, or stiffness that can cause difficulty urinating
4. Local skin and mucous membranes become thinner, there are also swelling and edema, and the labia minora and labia minora shrink or even disappear, making the vaginal opening narrower, which can cause difficulty in sexual intercourse or childbirth and require a cesarean section.
5. Fertility difficulties: What are the hazards of common vulvar leukoplakia to women? Local skin and mucosa thinning, swelling and edema, atrophy or disappearance of labia minora and labia minora, narrowing of vaginal opening, difficulty in sexual activity, difficulty in childbirth, and cesarean section surgery.
6. Vulvar leukoplakia with difficulty urinating can make it difficult for women to urinate, causing the skin and mucosa of the patient's vulva to become white or alternating with light red, with a rough surface, cracks, ulcers, erosion, or loss of elasticity due to hardness, resulting in difficulty urinating.
Prevent white spots on the external genitalia
1. Pay attention to personal cleanliness: Keep the external genitalia clean and dry, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to clean the external genitalia. If there is cervicitis or vaginitis, it should be treated as soon as possible to reduce the irritation of vaginal discharge on the external genitalia skin.
2. Food that is prone to allergies or high levels of inflammation should be eaten with caution. Eat a diet rich in vitamins to correct anemia, low stomach acid, and all abnormal dietary habits.
3. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid excessive fatigue, high mental tension, and all mental stimulation. Underwear should wear loose cotton fabric, not nylon or synthetic fiber products. Short socks should not be worn in summer, and tight fitting clothes and jeans should not be worn on weekdays.
4. Avoiding stimulation: Avoiding stimulation is an important aspect of preventing this disease. Women should pay attention in their daily lives and avoid using soap, PP powder, or other irritating drugs when cleaning the external genitalia. At the same time, they should keep the external genitalia clean.
