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: What tests are included in the examination for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the current treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva typically only addresses symptoms like itching or surgical excision, with a high recurrence rate. Therefore, treating leukoplakia of the vulva must target the root cause. It is essential to understand the reasons behind leukoplakia of the vulva. Most cases are caused by vaginal infections. Additionally, factors such as hereditary transmission across generations and endocrine disorders may also contribute. It is recommended to consult a doctor for a thorough examination to determine if such conditions are present, followed by symptomatic treatment. It is advised to seek examination and treatment for leukoplakia of the vulva at a reputable hospital. In daily life, maintain cleanliness and dryness, avoid using soap or irritating medications to clean the vulva, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods.
