Patient's question:
My friend's sister has been divorced from her husband for 4 years and has never had children. One day, she went to the hospital and was told that she had a gynecological disease called leukoplakia of the external genitalia. If she gets pregnant, this disease can be passed down to the baby across generations. She is very sad. She also wonders if this disease will affect her sex life, as some couples have gotten married due to sexual incompatibility. Will leukoplakia of the external genitalia affect sex life?Doctor's answer:
The impact of leukoplakia of the vulva on sexual life is not significant. However, for a very small number of patients who have developed inflammation and vaginal stenosis, treatment should be administered for a period of time, but sexual activity should not be frequent. In addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a light diet and keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset at all times to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vaginitis.
