Is the inheritance rate of vulvar leukoplakia high?

Patient's question:

I heard from someone today that leukoplakia of the vulva can be inherited across generations. Is the inheritance rate of leukoplakia of the vulva high across generations? How can it not be inherited across generations?

Doctor's answer:

There is a hereditary rate of vulvar leukoplakia across generations. It is recommended that you still go to the gynecology department of a hospital for examination. Based on the examination results, additional treatment can be provided. If the treatment is effective, it is unlikely to cause hereditary transmission across generations. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the vulvar area, and change underwear frequently. If you have vulvar leukoplakia, it is advised not to have sexual intercourse to prevent cross-infection.
