Patient's question:
How should vulvar leukoplakia be treated? I'm not married, and I was recently told I have vulvar leukoplakia during a health check-up. Is this condition serious? Will it affect my future ability to get pregnant? What tests or treatments are required?Doctor's answer:
Hello! I don't know how your leukoplakia of the vulva was diagnosed. If it was a pathological diagnosis, you should receive standard treatment. If not, it is recommended to undergo a pathological examination to rule out other similar conditions such as vitiligo, lichen sclerosus, and so on. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist in a regular large hospital and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.Without a diagnosis, it is not recommended for you to use medication on your own because there are many types of skin diseases that have similar lesions. Leukoplakia of the vulva is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia, change underwear frequently, and finally, wish female patients a speedy recovery!
