Is vulvar leukoplakia hereditary?

Can vulvar leukoplakia be inherited? Vulvar leukoplakia is a type of gynecological disease. It is a non-neoplastic change in the vulvar epithelium. Vulvar itching is the main symptom. The itching lasts from 2 to 3 months from onset to treatment, and sometimes lasts up to 20 years. So, can vulvar leukoplakia be inherited? The following is a detailed introduction for you.

The formation of vulvar leukoplakia is directly related to endocrine disorders, internal circulation disorders, and low immunity of the body. When the vulva does not get enough nutrition, the metabolism is naturally slow, and the toxins in the vulvar epidermis cannot be excreted normally, which may cause itching or cracks. It may be hereditary, so early treatment is recommended.

Lichen vulvar leukoplakia can be seen at any age, but is more common in women around 40 years old. The early symptoms of vulvar malnutrition are mainly itching in the lesion area, but it is generally much milder than the hyperplastic lesions. In the late stage, sexual intercourse becomes difficult. The lesions involve the vulvar skin, mucous membranes and skin around the anus. In addition to the skin or mucous membranes becoming white, thin, dry and easy to crack, they also lose elasticity, the clitoris often atrophies and adheres to the foreskin, and the labia minora flattens and disappears. In the late stage, the skin is thin and wrinkled like cigarette paper, and the vaginal opening is contracted and narrow, only the fingertips can fit.

Hyperplastic vulvar leukoplakia generally occurs in women aged 30 to 60 years. The early symptoms of vulvar malnutrition are mainly unbearable itching of the vulva, which is exacerbated by scratching. The range of lesions varies, mainly affecting the labia majora, the interlabial groove, the clitoral hood and the posterior symphysis, and is mostly symmetrical. The lesion skin is thickened like leather, with raised wrinkles, or scaly and eczematous changes. The surface color is mostly dark red or pink, with clearly defined white patches, and generally no atrophy or adhesion.
