Patients with vulvar leukoplakia can also become mothers

Vulvar leukoplakia, also known as vulvar dystrophy, is a gynecological disease with complex and diverse causes and a protracted and incurable disease. The disease has a certain incidence rate among women of childbearing age. Its main symptom is vulvar itching. In the early stage of the disease, the skin of the genitals of patients is often red, swollen and dry. As the disease progresses, the skin surface keratinizes and gradually becomes thicker, whiter, loses elasticity, and even cracks or ulcers. Some patients have shrinking labia minora and vaginal opening, which leads to sexual dysfunction. Therefore, many patients can't help but worry about such a question: Can patients with vulvar leukoplakia have children? What is the possibility of having children?

Vulvar leukoplakia will have a certain impact on the patient's health and sexual life, but generally speaking it will not affect fertility, which means that patients with the disease can also become pregnant and have children, and become mothers. For a small number of patients whose vaginal opening is narrow due to the disease, it is best to treat it for a period of time first, and then prepare for pregnancy after the vaginal opening becomes soft. For patients with vulvar leukoplakia with normal vulva, they can give birth normally through the birth canal, and for patients with severe vulvar atrophy, cesarean section can be considered, which will not affect the fetus. It is worth mentioning that most patients with vulvar leukoplakia will feel that their symptoms have been alleviated to varying degrees or even disappeared after pregnancy, and local skin lesions on the vulva will also improve to varying degrees. There is no conclusion as to why this phenomenon occurs, and it is generally believed to be related to the level of maternal placental hormones.
