Patient's question:
I am not married yet. Recently, after a physical examination, I was told that I have leukoplakia of the vulva. Is this disease serious? Will it affect my future pregnancy? Please ask: How should leukoplakia of the vulva be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in medicine, vulvar leukoplakia is referred to as "vulvar dystrophy." The causes are related to the dysfunction of microcirculation under the vulvar mucosa and disorders of nutritional decomposition metabolism, which prevent nutrients from effectively reaching the skin and organ tissues through microcirculation to function. At the same time, it leads to irregular growth of epithelial cells, resulting in white vulvar skin tissue, and some may experience recurrence of white pubic hair, rough skin, scaling, swelling, and cracking, among other adverse conditions. It is recommended to go to a regular professional hospital for a thorough examination and treatment of vulvar leukoplakia. The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia severely harms women's health, and patients should avoid sexual activity during the treatment period. Additionally, personal hygiene should be paid attention to. At the same time, it is hoped that female patients can receive effective treatment.
