Patient's question:
I've been experiencing severe itching in my private area these days. Once the itching starts, it becomes unbearable. After a thorough examination, I found out that I have vulvar leukoplakia. The doctor suggested that I seek treatment immediately, but my mother-in-law said not to treat it yet, to wait until after I have the child. It's said that this condition can be inherited across generations. I wonder if that's really true. Does vulvar leukoplakia have a genetic risk?Doctor's answer:
The controversy over whether vulvar leukoplakia is a hereditary disease still exists, and I can't be certain. This condition does have a certain probability of being inherited over generations, but this probability is quite low. Even though it is low, it still carries a risk of being inherited over generations. It is recommended that you understand and seek treatment promptly.The daily treatment for vulvar leukoplakia patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take oral medications and supplement them with vitamins. Additionally, it is important to maintain a regular schedule and avoid alcohol consumption.
