Patient's question:
I previously had a urinary tract infection. Although it seems I received treatment later, a recent visit to the gynecology department revealed that the area has developed vulvar leukoplakia again. I really don't know why this part of my body keeps getting sick, and the doctor said if it's not treated properly, it might potentially spread and develop into cancer in the future. Does vulvar leukoplakia really turn into cancer?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is indeed a very troublesome disease for women, and the treatment time is also relatively long. Currently, some topical solutions are still used to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria, aiming to achieve the best possible curative effect. Moreover, if the long-term inflammation is not treated properly, there is about a 15% chance of canceration. Vaginal leukoplakia is a disease that is difficult to alleviate. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating vaginal leukoplakia and believe that they can definitely accept the treatment.
