To prevent vulvar leukoplakia, you should first clean the vulva scientifically.

To prevent vulvar leukoplakia, you should first learn how to clean the vulva scientifically, paying attention to the following aspects.

1. Pay attention to the frequency of vulva cleaning

The female vulva has its own self-cleaning and defense function. Under normal circumstances, it does not need to be cleaned every day. Generally, it is sufficient to clean it 3 to 4 times a week. However, it is necessary to pay attention to cleaning before and after sexual intercourse, and it is important for couples to wash together.

2. Pay attention to using more clean water

When cleaning the vulva, women should try to use only clean water and be cautious with various care solutions, especially alkaline care solutions. The pH value of the vagina is acidic, and there are many normal bacteria. Among them, lactobacilli can effectively inhibit the growth of other pathogens and serve as a natural defense barrier for the vulva. If alkaline care solutions are frequently used to stimulate the vulva, it will greatly damage its flora environment, which will not only fail to play a role in cleaning and preventing diseases, but also increase the incidence of various diseases such as vulvar leukoplakia.

3. Pay attention to water temperature

When cleaning the vulva, you should pay attention to controlling the water temperature. It should not be too hot or too cold. Warm water is appropriate to avoid excessive local stimulation.

4. Pay attention to the cleaning order

When women perform local washing, they must wash from front to back in the correct order and start from a clean area to reduce the risk of cross infection. Generally, the vulva should be washed first, followed by the anus, to reduce the incidence of fungal and fungal vulvar diseases.
