Patient's question:
I am already pregnant, and the doctor told you that it's a girl. Although this might be a bit against regulations, when I was carefully examining, I forgot one thing. There's something I've been too afraid to say: I have leukoplakia in my vulva. I want to know if having leukoplakia in the vulva is hereditary across generations? I don't want my daughter to get this disease too.Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia has a certain genetic component and is related to lifestyle and dietary habits. It is best to avoid overexertion, staying up late, excessive mental and emotional stress, and, in addition to these aspects, prevent contact with greasy, spicy, and extremely cold stimulating foods. Generally, vulvar leukoplakia primarily causes obvious itching symptoms, which can be corrected with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications to achieve complete recovery. For the time being, careful observation is the only option. For vulvar leukoplakia patients, in addition to standard treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, eating fewer spicy and irritating foods, and reminding female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
