Patient's question:
My vulva has developed some white spots. My mom said she had them too when she was young. I think I should consult a doctor. Can vulvar leukoplakia be inherited across generations?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in general, leukoplakia of the vulva still has a certain tendency of reverse heredity across generations. However, the specific cause may be considered as local inflammation of the vagina spreading to and stimulating the vulva, which can also easily lead to the formation of vulvar leukoplakia. Therefore, you don't need to be too anxious or worried. Regular health check-ups can be sufficient. Pay attention to keeping the vulva clean.
