Patient's question:
I had carefully checked and found that I had leukoplakia of the vulva, butly, this disease is not contagious and will never be transmitted to family members through daily life. However, I still often feel the itching is unbearable. I always clean carefully and apply medication, and now I have somewhat fully recovered. But with the weather starting to get warmer, I wonder if I can still go ice skating. Can I swim with leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Patients with vulvar leukoplakia are generally not recommended to go ice skating. On the other hand, the bacterial content in swimming pool water is relatively high, which may exacerbate the condition. Additionally, patients with vulvar leukoplakia should strive to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the affected area. Prolonged immersion in water while ice skating is also beneficial for treatment. In addition to seeking timely treatment for vulvar leukoplakia, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can the patient receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, ensuring a balanced nutrition and proper digestion of nutrients, believing that this will definitely drive away vulvar leukoplakia.
