Patient's question:
My dear friend has recently been experiencing vulvar itching. After a thorough examination at the hospital, she was diagnosed with leukoplakia of the vulva. She has been prescribed various medications and told that treatment will take some time. Since we live together, I'm concerned about whether this condition can be transmitted through casual contact. What precautions should I take? I'm very worried about getting gynecological diseases, which can be quite troublesome.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is not contagious, of course, and this private condition requires special attention to personal hygiene. Additionally, the patient's internal area should not be touched, and hot water sterilization and sun exposure should be implemented. Furthermore, during the treatment period for patients with vaginal leukoplakia, their dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries. At this time, attention should be paid to diet, with small, frequent meals and avoiding greasy foods. It is advisable to rest in bed as much as possible.
