Patient's question:
I've been divorced from my husband for several years, and our sex life has always been good. We both pay attention to the cleanliness of the external genitalia. However, recently, two white patches have appeared on my external genitalia, and I don't know what caused them. Sometimes we still have sex, and I'm afraid of infecting my husband. I'd like to understand if vulvar leukoplakia is contagious?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia refers to various types of vaginal nutritional deficiencies. It is recommended to use Enfusione cream or vitamin A acid cream for topical treatment. Laser therapy can also be tested, or 2% hydrocortisone ointment can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain, or 2% testosterone propionate cod liver oil ointment can be applied. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness during daily life, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to wash the external genitalia, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Clothing should be loose and comfortable, and laundry should be changed frequently. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to wearing soft cotton products. In addition to symptomatic treatment for vaginal leukoplakia, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as light diet and more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a authoritative hospital for diagnosis, so as to obtain a good therapeutic effect.
