Does vulvar leukoplakia be contagious?

Patient's question:

I am a 92-year-old woman who has been feeling quite tired lately. I have noticed some discomfort in my body, and I'm wondering if it could be this disease. Could you please tell me: Is leukoplakia of the vulva contagious?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal leukoplakia is not contagious, so you can rest assured about that. However, it is currently very difficult to (cure) vaginal leukoplakia. The focus is on alleviating symptoms and controlling the spread of the condition. Medication is the foundation, and it is recommended to use medications under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, try to use (care solutions) less frequently and maintain local cleanliness. Change underwear frequently and enhance care. In terms of diet, it should be based on a light and simple foundation, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Always maintain a positive mood.
