Why does vulvar leukoplakia itch at night

The itch of vulvar leukoplakia at night is mostly due to relaxation of the body, concentration, lack of attention to hygiene, etc. After suffering from vulvar leukoplakia, it is generally necessary to choose drug treatment.

1. At night, the patient's body is in a state of relaxation, which leads to increased smooth muscle tension and greater blood flow resistance. The blood flow will be less than during the day, resulting in reduced blood circulation, increased secretions and accumulation, which in turn causes an increase in the concentration of decomposition products, so symptoms of itching will appear at night.

2. At night, because your attention is relatively focused, you may also feel certain discomfort symptoms.

3. Some patients with vulvar leukoplakia do not pay attention to hygiene, especially failing to clean the vulva in time at night, which may aggravate the symptoms and cause itching symptoms.

After confirming that you have vulvar leukoplakia, you usually need to apply local medications to improve the itching symptoms, such as fluocinolone ointment, triamcinolone acetonide ointment, clobetasol ointment, etc. For patients whose itching symptoms are obvious and lead to insomnia, you can also use oral medications such as loratadine, cetirizine, and ebastine.
