Patient's question:
I'm 20 years old and have developed leukoplakia of the vulva. What should I do? How can it be treated effectively? Will this affect my fertility?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal leukoplakia generally does not affect fertility, but this condition is not particularly easy to treat. To achieve a complete cure, it is usually quite challenging. Treatment mainly involves two major methods: medication and surgery. Currently, you can start with conservative medication treatment to see how it goes, typically including oral and topical Chinese medicine. This requires active and standardized treatment in a hospital. Get your medication prescribed by a hospital and do not take any medication hastily out of desperation. If the medication is not suitable for your condition, it will affect your recovery, delay treatment, and worsen the condition. Pay attention to hygiene, keep the external genital area dry, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and wear pure cotton underwear.
