Patient's question:
I am 28 years old and have been experiencing itching in my lower body all the time. The symptoms usually appear a few days before my period, and the itching gets worse. Please ask: Can I have sexual intercourse during the treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia can be engaged in sexual activity during treatment, but it is necessary to pay attention to sexual hygiene and maintain a clean and dry environment of the vulva at all times. If a thorough examination and diagnosis confirm vulvar leukoplakia, it is recommended to apply symptomatic ointment externally for treatment. During the treatment period, it is advisable to consume less spicy, irritating, and allergenic foods to facilitate recovery. Patients diagnosed with the disease should maintain a positive mindset and face the illness with optimism. Only in this way can they enhance their immunity and strengthen their belief in fighting the disease, which is believed to help drive the illness away.
