Is vulvar leukoplakia hereditary?

Is vulvar leukoplakia hereditary? This is a question that many people want to know. The harm caused by vulvar leukoplakia to patients is far greater than other gynecological inflammations. Female friends must pay attention to it. Once the symptoms of the disease are found, they must pay enough attention and actively receive treatment. So, is vulvar leukoplakia hereditary?

Vulvar leukoplakia has a certain genetic tendency, so everyone should be vigilant. The exact cause of the disease is currently unknown, and it may be related to the following factors: genes, autoimmunity, sex hormone deficiency or decreased sex hormone receptors, etc. Vulvar squamous epithelial hyperplasia may be related to vulvar moisture, long-term stimulation of secretions, resulting in vulvar itching and repeated scratching.

Women who suffer from "leukoplakia vulvae" are very scared and wonder if it is a precancerous lesion. In recent years, a large number of clinical experiments have confirmed that the cancer rate is only about 2%. This disease is mainly divided into four types: hyperplastic type, simple atrophic type, lichen sclerosis type, and mixed type. The condition is stubborn and complicated. In mild cases, there is an increase in leucorrhea and unbearable itching and pain. In severe cases, the vulva proliferates, hardens, and atrophies, and the libido is reduced or absent.

Especially for patients with simple atrophy, there is no obvious itching or mild itching. If not treated in time, it may cause urethritis, cystitis, nephritis, etc. Severe cases may lead to vulvar atrophy, loss of elasticity, complete disappearance of bilateral labia minora, clitoral adhesion, urethral atrophy, frequent urination, vaginal stenosis, sexual intercourse pain and fissures, and cancer is prone to occur in the late stage.

I believe that through this article female friends should know how important the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia is to us. We must not let this disease be passed on to our offspring because of our own reasons, as this will cause great harm to them.
