How to treat leukoplakia of the external genitalia with a 40-year history?

Patient's question:

When I was a child, I was diagnosed with vulvar leukoplakia. Over the years, I have been using medication to control it. Recently, I noticed that my vulva is itchy very severely. Has vulvar leukoplakia been fine for 40 years?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal leukoplakia can cause severe itching in women and may also lead to the recurrence of multiple white patches on the vulva. Additionally, vaginal leukoplakia has a certain hereditary tendency across generations. If the patient has atrophic vaginal leukoplakia, it generally does not pose a threat to their life, but they need to take good care to prevent the condition from worsening. The above is advice on this issue, and I hope it helps you.
