Vulvar leukoplakia can be diagnosed without biopsy.
The biopsy of vulvar leukoplakia is mainly to clarify the nature of the disease and observe whether there is early cancer, so as to provide a basis for the subsequent treatment. When there is no obvious pre-cancerous lesion, biopsy can be avoided, and clinical symptoms and signs can be diagnosed.
Clinical manifestations of vulvar leukoplakia include itching, vulvar atrophy, etc. Most patients will not have obvious skin lesions. Some patients with vulvar leukoplakia may have skin lesions, such as recurrent ulcers, hyperplasia, nodules, etc. This part of patients need to take local tissues for biopsy to find out early cancerous lesions as early as possible, to clarify whether malignant lesions are present or not, and then have surgery as early as possible for treatment, which usually has a better prognosis.
It is suggested that patients with vulvar leukoplakia should go to regular hospitals in time, complete relevant examinations, clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of doctors, and standardize the treatment, so as to avoid delaying the disease and leading to adverse reactions.
