Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I've also been experiencing itching in my outer labia. After a check-up, it was diagnosed as leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me what kind of impacts does leukoplakia of the vulva have?Doctor's answer:
It can be said that after childbirth, women who do not breastfeed completely regain their menstrual cycle within two months, while those who do breastfeed need six months to fully recover their menstrual cycle. In your case, the complete recovery of your menstrual cycle is delayed, which is related to changes in the endocrine system. A small amount of bleeding is a sign that the menstrual cycle is about to return. For your situation, it may take another month for the menstrual cycle to fully recover, or it may still not return. It is also necessary to have a gynecological examination for safety. For patients with leukoplakia of the external genitalia, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying close attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients must have regular follow-up examinations!
