Can women with leukoplakia of the vulva have children?

Patient's question:

Recently, I discussed with my husband about having a child. But a few weeks ago, I had a thorough examination and was told I have leukoplakia of the vulva. I don't know why I got this disease, so I want to consult a doctor: can women with leukoplakia of the vulva have children? If I have a child now, what impact would it have on the child?

Doctor's answer:

If there is vulvar leukoplakia, it will never affect a woman's fertility. However, it is recommended to wait until the condition is completely treated before trying to conceive, as otherwise, it may also have a certain impact on the fetus. This is because vulvar leukoplakia requires antibiotic treatment. In cases of severe vulvar leukoplakia, it may hinder a woman's ability to give birth naturally. It is also important to pay attention to local hygiene during daily life.
