Explain the important diagnostic basis of vulvar leukoplakia

Clinically, the diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia is mainly based on symptoms, but sometimes the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are similar to those of other diseases, so further diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia is needed, which is very important for patients. So what are the important diagnostic bases for vulvar leukoplakia ? Let's talk about the important diagnostic bases for vulvar leukoplakia.

In general, the important diagnostic basis for vulvar leukoplakia is:

1. Symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia include vulvar itching, sometimes with burning and pain. The skin of the affected area is rough, thickened like moss, with scratches, and sometimes with cracks. The affected area of ​​vulvar leukoplakia will have hypopigmentation, and the labia majora and labia minora will generally turn white. Patients with vulvar leukoplakia may have mild atrophy. In severe cases, the clitoris, labia majora and labia minora may atrophy and adhere, and the labia minora may partially or completely disappear. This is an important basis for the diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia.

2. The diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia should also be based on pathological diagnosis. Because a variety of diseases can cause skin itching and loss or depigmentation of pigmentation, although the manifestations are different. It has been reported that about 50% of vulvar squamous cell carcinomas are often accompanied by white lesions of vulvar leukoplakia. Therefore, if the lesions are atypical or there are chronic chapped skin, localized thickening, and ulceration, it is necessary to rely on biopsy to confirm whether the patient has vulvar leukoplakia.

The above is an explanation of the important diagnostic basis of vulvar leukoplakia. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. If you are diagnosed with vulvar leukoplakia, you must go to the hospital immediately for active treatment so that you can control the disease in time and get rid of the disease as soon as possible.
