Can genital leukoplakia lead to sexual activity? The three major hazards of vulvar leukoplakia cannot be ignored

Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that we should pay attention to. After falling ill, it can affect the normal life of patients, especially with significant health hazards. It is necessary to pay attention to timely treatment.

Can vulvar leukoplakia lead to sexual activity

1. For patients with vulvar leukoplakia, timely examination and treatment are crucial. Generally, early genital leukoplakia can be treated with sexual intercourse, but it requires timely treatment. If not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to a deeper degree of vulvar leukoplakia and affect the quality of sexual life.

2. Vulvar leukoplakia is caused by vulvar malnutrition, including proliferative, atrophic, and mixed types. The proliferative type is prone to cancer, while the atrophic type can develop sexually, causing pain and affecting marital life. Therefore, whether vulvar leukoplakia can have sexual intercourse requires consideration of the degree of local skin damage to the vulvar leukoplakia.

Harm of vulvar leukoplakia

1. Dystocia. For women who have not given birth, vaginal leukoplakia can narrow the vaginal opening and make it difficult to conceive. Meanwhile, some pathogenic bacteria may infect the fetus during delivery, resulting in various adverse consequences. Therefore, when pregnant women with vulvar leukoplakia give birth, doctors recommend a cesarean section.

2. Difficulty in urination is one of the common hazards caused by vulvar leukoplakia. Vulvar leukoplakia can cause skin mucous membranes, light red areas, rough surfaces, cracks, ulcers, erosion, and other phenomena, which can cause loss of elasticity and difficulty in urination.

3. Seriously affecting the sexual life of couples. Vulvar leukoplakia can make the surface of the leukoplakia thicker or smoother, dry and inelastic skin in the affected area, sparse or detached pubic hair, narrow vaginal opening, and affect the quality of sexual life.

Precautions for vulvar leukoplakia

1. Keep the external genitalia clean and reduce irritation and friction. The occurrence of some chronic diseases (such as vaginitis, vulvitis, etc.) can cause certain damage to the female immune system. At this time, active treatment and prevention are very important. Some women who love cleanliness clean their external genitalia every day, but do not use hot water when cleaning. Use regular warm water to clean and pay attention to keeping the external genitalia clean at all times to reduce irritation and friction, avoid scratching, and do not use soap and other alkaline substances when cleaning the external genitalia.

2. Get enough sleep to ensure a normal sleep schedule. Learning to regulate life stress, avoid diseases, and adequate sleep is particularly important. Not only can it reduce the occurrence of diseases, but it can also regulate daily emotions, maintain energy for two days, and maintain women's skin.
