Patient's question:
I am not married yet. Recently, I went for a physical examination and was told that I have leukoplakia of the vulva. Is this disease serious? Will it affect my future pregnancy? Please ask: How much does it generally cost to treat leukoplakia of the vulva in hospitals?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to distinguish between vulvar vitiligo and leukoplakia of the vulva. If it is vitiligo, it is usually accompanied by other areas of depigmentation. If leukoplakia of the vulva is diagnosed and treatment is required, a biopsy is recommended. If abnormal moderate to severe dysplasia is found, or if ulcers and cracks persist without improvement after non-surgical treatment, surgery may be considered. For cases with mild inflammation, laser treatment can also be performed, or the condition can be closely monitored without intervention. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain cleanliness of the vulva, change underwear frequently, and finally wish female patients a speedy recovery!
