Patient's question:
Can women with leukoplakia of the vulva have children? If they do, will it be hereditary?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia is hereditary. To treat vaginal leukoplakia, it is necessary to block the lesion progression, repair vaginal skin damage, restore the normal function of vaginal skin tissue cells, improve the nutritional status of microvessels and nerve endings, alter the local tissue growth environment, promote local tissue regeneration, and gradually eliminate the leukoplakia. During the healing process, attention should be paid to care and maintenance, combining treatment with care. Sexual activity should be suspended, and the vagina should be kept clean. Avoid using some commercial cleaning agents. When itching is severe, protective ointment can be applied. It is important to restrain oneself from scratching as much as possible, avoid wearing tight or poorly breathable synthetic underwear, and reduce the intake of irritating foods.
