Early symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia

In the early stages of vulvar leukoplakia, symptoms such as gradual fading of color, poor skin elasticity, increased itching, vulvar atrophy, and vulvar dryness may appear. You need to go to the hospital for treatment and receive treatment based on the cause.

1. The color gradually fades: In the early stage of vulvar leukoplakia, there will be hypopigmentation and color changes, mainly from normal color to light red, then gradually fade, and finally turn into white.

2. Poor skin elasticity: Some patients may experience a gradual deterioration in skin elasticity, and may even experience atrophy.

3. Increased itching: The initial manifestation of vulvar leukoplakia is vulvar itching, but the degree of itching is not particularly severe. If not treated in time, the itching will become more and more severe as the disease progresses. Scratching with hands may also increase the risk of infection.

4. Vulvar atrophy: It is usually an early symptom of atrophic vulvar leukoplakia, but the symptoms are not particularly obvious and are not easily detected by the naked eye. It can usually only be discovered during a gynecological examination.

5. Vulvar dryness: It is usually atrophic vulvar leukoplakia. Most patients will experience vulvar atrophy, accompanied by vulvar dryness, and there will be a tingling sensation during sexual intercourse.

Skin ulcers may also occur. In daily life, you should pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid excessive cleaning. If accompanied by discomfort, it is recommended that patients seek medical treatment in time.
