How to deal with leukoplakia of the external genitalia at three months of pregnancy

Patient's question:

Discovered last month, the unbearable itching every day was initially thought to be a gynecological disease. Recently, it was found that there is white discharge from the lower body, which turned out to be leukoplakia of the vulva. Yesterday, I went to the Leukoplakia of the Vulva Specialty Department at Hangzhou Tian Da Hospital. The doctor said that they cannot treat women during pregnancy. Regarding medication, they mentioned that hormones are not good for the baby in the womb, so it is not advisable. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Considering that leukoplakia of the vulva has a genetic and generational inheritance effect, women may experience hormonal changes during pregnancy, leading to an increase in vaginal discharge, which may exacerbate the symptoms of leukoplakia of the vulva. Experts recommend that it is best to achieve a complete cure before considering pregnancy. If a woman with leukoplakia of the vulva is already pregnant, there is no need to worry excessively. During pregnancy, no treatment is recommended. It is important to maintain good local hygiene of the vulva, wash and change underwear frequently, and wear cotton clothing that is breathable. Proper daily care should be practiced. After delivery, timely treatment should be taken.
