Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable downstairs, itchy, and sometimes my discharge is abnormal with a bit of odor. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said I have vulvar leukoplakia. I'm very careful about personal hygiene, but I never expected to get this condition. My husband has gone to work, and I'm worried he'll have sex with me when he comes back.Doctor's answer:
It is still recommended not to have excessive sexual activity, as sexual intercourse can easily cause labial tearing, making intimate life difficult. Vulvar leukoplakia itself is a precancerous lesion, so it is necessary to seek treatment as soon as possible. In the early stages of vulvar leukoplakia, sexual activity can still be practiced, but it cannot be engaged in once it progresses to the middle and late stages. Vulvar leukoplakia patients can understand and treat symptoms while using folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily dietary habits, it is necessary to have a proper diet and eat less irritating foods.
