Patient's question:
I have been suffering from leukoplakia of the vulva for a long time, and I have been receiving treatment, but it hasn't been cured yet. My menstrual period hasn't come for several days this month, so I went for a thorough check-up and found out that I was pregnant. I am both happy and worried, as I am afraid this condition might have a negative impact on the fetus. What are the effects of leukoplakia of the vulva during pregnancy on the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Vulvar leukoplakia does not affect the fetus during pregnancy. Pregnancy is a special stage for women, and it is not recommended to undergo any treatment to avoid impacting the fetus's growth and development. Additionally, during labor, doctors need to provide specific advice to vulvar leukoplakia patients on how to have a normal vaginal delivery to prevent the condition from worsening due to excessive effort during delivery. Vulvar leukoplakia poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to dietary issues, focusing on a light diet. It is hoped that vulvar leukoplakia patients can receive professional treatment.
