Patient's question:
I am six months pregnant and went to the hospital for a regular check-up. The doctor told me that I have a condition called leukoplakia on my vulva. I feel very scared because I didn't have this disease before becoming pregnant. However, during pregnancy, I cannot take medication freely. How should I cope with vulvar leukoplakia before giving birth?Doctor's answer:
Women who are pregnant should still use some medications with caution, as they may harm the health of the child. It is recommended to maintain good personal hygiene during this time and seek treatment after the child is born. For patients, if the condition of leukoplakia of the vulva is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of leukoplakia. In addition, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
