Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for more than four months. However, when I had a prenatal check-up last week, the doctor carefully examined and said I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I don't know what leukoplakia of the vulva is, but it is said that there are some white spots in the vulvar area. I am very worried that this will affect the baby, but I don't want to lose the baby either. It's so conflicting. What should I do if leukoplakia of the vulva is found during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms you mentioned are primarily considered to be related to immune system issues and are absolutely not hereditary across generations. Based on the information you provided, it is likely that the main cause is a recurring issue with your immune system during early pregnancy. You can enhance your nutrition and use topical medications, which will absolutely not affect the child. For patients, if the condition of leukoplakia of the external genitalia is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated, and appropriate medications should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of leukoplakia. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
