Patient's question:
I'm not married yet. Recently, I went for a physical examination and was told I have leukoplakia of the vulva. Is this condition serious? Will it affect my future ability to get pregnant? Please ask: Which hospital is better for treating leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Vulvar leukoplakia may be related to systemic factors, such as diabetes or endocrine disorders. Local environmental factors of the vulva, such as moisture or heat, can lead to vulvar leukoplakia. Vulvar leukoplakia is usually treated symptomatically, with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. If there is significant inflammation, severe symptoms, or if medication does not heal over a long period, surgical treatment should be considered. For vulvar leukoplakia patients, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying close attention to private hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
