The impact of vulvar leukoplakia on pregnancy

Short story: Ms. Zhang is 36 years old and has been married for ten years. She and her husband want to focus on their careers first, so they have not had children. Now Ms. Zhang thinks it is time to have a child, but she has recently experienced symptoms such as vulvar itching and difficulty in sexual intercourse. After going to the hospital for examination, she was diagnosed with vulvar leukoplakia. Ms. Zhang is very worried about whether she can still have children after suffering from this disease.

Story analysis: Leukoplakia vulvae often occurs in women aged 30 to 50. Many young people who focus on their careers often consider having children in middle age. However, leukoplakia vulvae may be caused by vaginal infection, inflammatory stimulation, and endocrine disorders, so many women worry that leukoplakia vulvae will affect their pregnancy or the development of the fetus.

Although vulvar leukoplakia has an impact on female pregnancy, patients with vulvar leukoplakia can still get pregnant. Since patients with vulvar leukoplakia mainly experience vulvar itching, the itching may worsen during pregnancy, and the more you scratch, the more itchy it becomes. However, pregnant women should be cautious when using oral or topical medications, and should not use medications casually, which brings great pain to pregnant women.

Pregnant women with vulvar leukoplakia may infect the fetus during delivery, thereby inducing other diseases in the newborn, so patients should wait until the vulvar leukoplakia is cured before having children.
