Patient's question:
I have been married for two years. I originally planned to have a baby this year, but recently I discovered that my vulvar doctor has developed white spots, and they are itchy severely. So I went to ask the doctor, and he said it might be vulvar leukoplakia. Now I feel a bit upset because my condition is not suitable for pregnancy, so I would like to verify the feasibility of being able to conceive.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Vulvar leukoplakia refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the external female genitalia, which can spread to the inner thighs, perineum, and anus, but rarely affects the urethral opening or the vestibule. It is a chronic disease of female genital malnutrition. Medication and physical treatments can be administered simultaneously, yielding better results. This condition is chronic and requires long-term treatment, with follow-up examinations generally recommended every 3-6 months. It does not interfere with pregnancy and will never affect the development of the fetus.
