Will the condition of leukoplakia of the external genitalia recur after diagnosis?

Patient's question:

I am a 57-year-old woman who has recently been experiencing discomfort. Gradually, the discomfort has worsened. I would like to ask: Does vulvar leukoplakia recur?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal leukoplakia is very prone to recurring and cannot be completely cured. So far, there is still no effective method to treat vaginal leukoplakia, and only oral and topical medications are used to alleviate symptoms and prevent the condition from worsening. Daily care is very important. Personal hygiene must be paid attention to, underwear should be changed frequently, and the diet should be based on light food. Smoking and drinking should be avoided. Then, patients need to follow a regular diet, maintain a regular schedule, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to keeping a good mood in life. It is also necessary to eat more light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
