Patient's question:
I initially experienced vulvar itching, and later, swelling also reappeared. What is going on? I asked a doctor, and they said it's vulvar leukoplakia. This condition isn't necessarily difficult to treat but can be quite troublesome. I'm about to give birth and don't know if I can still get pregnant. Can I still get pregnant if there's atrophy of the small labia minora due to vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
It should never affect pregnancy, but vulvar itching is a symptom of vaginitis or gynecological diseases. It is important to seek timely treatment and not let it develop further. In fact, having leukoplakia of the vulva is not frightening at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treatment is provided accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and undergoing treatment are very high.
