Patient's question:
It might be because I've been scratching for these past few days. It started with a little pus, but after a thorough check, it turned out to be leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm worried about spreading it to my husband. Does leukoplakia of the vulva spread to others?Doctor's answer:
Not infectious, leukoplakia of the vulva, also known as vulvar dystrophy, may be caused by chronic injury, allergies, local endocrine and nutritional disorders, or metabolic disorders. Long-term local dampness of the vulva and irritation from vaginal secretions are associated with this condition. Itchy symptoms that cannot be explained and recurring itching can also be symptoms of leukoplakia of the vulva. In addition to timely medical treatment, patients need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet and ensuring adequate nutrition. The answers mentioned above can assist you.
