Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What should I do after developing leukoplakia of the external genitalia?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar white lesions, vulvar dystrophy, or vulvar nutritional disorders, can recur with symptoms such as severe itching, atrophy, cracking, and fibrosis. It may develop into cancer (50% of vulvar cancers are caused by vulvar leukoplakia). Based on this, the International Health Organization has officially classified it as a precancerous condition. This disease is not contagious but can be inherited across generations (with a high inheritance rate). Patients should pay close attention and seek medical treatment promptly. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain vulvar cleanliness at all times and change their underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
