Can women with leukoplakia of the vulva have sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

I noticed that my vulvar skin has developed white patches again, about the size of a thumb, accompanied by occasional itching and easy cracking. Today, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said I have vulvar leukoplakia. I feel like I'm about to myself. The doctor showed me some medication, but there's one question I didn't dare to ask: can I still have sexual intercourse with vulvar leukoplakia?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal leukoplakia is not contagious and does not affect normal sexual life. During the treatment period, it is necessary to temporarily suspend sexual life to avoid affecting the therapeutic effect! The condition of vaginal leukoplakia is very serious. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment and hope that they can respond to treatment according to the doctor's advice. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition. At this time, pay attention to your diet, eat small meals frequently, avoid greasy foods, and try to rest in bed.
