Patient's question:
I and my husband have been trying for a long time to get pregnant. It was supposed to be a happy thing, but we were diagnosed with vulvar leukoplakia after a thorough examination. I had never had this disease before, and now I am already three months pregnant. I dare not use any medication casually for fear of affecting the fetus. We really want this child, and I am very sad. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, if a woman has leukoplakia of the vulva, it is not recommended to undergo any treatment during this period. Therefore, vulvar leukoplakia patients should pay attention to cleaning the vulvar skin during this time, avoid spicy and irritating foods in their diet, and focus on health maintenance in daily life to temporarily alleviate the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia and prevent the condition from worsening. During childbirth, it is best to opt for a cesarean section, as excessive force during vaginal delivery may cause further damage to inflamed skin and affect subsequent treatment. In addition to treating vulvar leukoplakia, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
