Patient's question:
Is vulvar leukoplakia contagious?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the issue of whether vulvar leukoplakia is contagious, first and foremost, based on a large number of domestic and international literature reports, it has not yet been discovered that vulvar leukoplakia is contagious. Therefore, if friends, classmates, or spouses suffer from this disease, everyone does not need to panic, nor should they discriminate against or neglect them, to avoid causing them psychological burdens. Such actions may also easily mislead the diagnosis of this condition. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that this disease is often caused by blood deficiency, liver excess, yin deficiency of the liver and kidneys, or kidney yang deficiency, leading to insufficient nourishment of the vulva by essence and blood. Clinically, it can be divided into two types of symptoms: deficiency and excess. The so-called deficiency refers to blood deficiency causing loss of nourishment and dryness, resulting in damage to the (Chong Ren) channels.
