Patient's question:
Are there any treatments for vulvar leukoplakia?Doctor's answer:
(1) Vitiligo often accompanies atrophy in its symptoms. If the patient is a child, it generally affects her pubertal development, particularly the development of the external genitalia. In adults, atrophy can impact sexual life with a partner and future childbirth. (2) Unmarried adults naturally aspire to have children after marriage. However, vitiligo is characterized by heredity, and in clinical practice, we often see cases where mothers and daughters, or sisters, both suffer from the condition, stemming from this genetic trait. Therefore, we emphasize that patients with vitiligo before marriage should seek early treatment.What should be noted when taking oral medication?
