Does vulvar leukoplakia usually cause what effects?

Patient's question:

At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I often feel itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's 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 usually cause?

Doctor's answer:

Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:
It can be said that after childbirth, women who are not breastfeeding usually regain their menstrual cycle completely within 2 months. However, women who are breastfeeding typically need about 6 months to fully recover their menstrual cycle. In your case, your menstrual cycle recovery is delayed, which is related to changes in your endocrine system. A small amount of spotting can be a sign that your menstrual cycle is returning before it fully normalizes.
For your situation, it's likely that your menstrual cycle may fully recover within another month, but it might still not return. It's also important to have a gynecological examination for safety. For patients with leukoplakia of the vulva, in addition to taking medication, they also need to pay attention to self-care training. For example, during treatment, pay attention to hygiene and keep the private area clean. Finally, women patients must be reminded to have follow-up examinations regularly!
