Five major hazards of vulvar leukoplakia to women

Vulvar leukoplakia is a skin disease of the female genitals. After suffering from vulvar leukoplakia, women will experience increased vaginal discharge, vulvar itching, decreased libido, etc. In severe cases, patients may suffer from nephritis, cystitis, urethritis, etc. Let's take a look at the harm of vulvar leukoplakia to women.

1. Vulvar leukoplakia is very harmful. After suffering from this disease, patients often feel unbearable itching in the vulva, as if a hole is drilled in the heart. The itching is paroxysmal, especially at night, accompanied by burning, dryness and discomfort, which seriously affects sleep.

2. The vulvar skin and mucosa turn white or pink, the surface becomes rough and uneven, with cracks, ulcers, erosions, or becomes hard and loses elasticity, which may cause difficulty in urination.

3. Vulvar leukoplakia can occur at any age, and has been reported in childhood, adolescence, menopause and old age, but generally most patients are menopausal women, and the cause of young female patients is mostly related to genetics.

4. The leukoplakia of vulva is characterized by thickening, roughening, atrophy, loss of elasticity and loss of skin color, and is commonly seen on the inner side of the labia majora or labia minora and the clitoris.

5. The local skin and mucous membranes become thinner and swollen. The labia majora and minora shrink or even disappear, making the vaginal opening narrower. This can cause difficulties in sexual life and may also cause difficulties in childbirth, requiring a cesarean section.
