Let me explain the causes of vulvar leukoplakia

Vulvar leukoplakia is a chronic disease among gynecological diseases. In recent years, the incidence of vulvar leukoplakia has been on the rise. Understanding the causes of vulvar leukoplakia is helpful for preventing vulvar leukoplakia. So, what are the causes of vulvar leukoplakia ? The details are as follows:

1. Genetic causes of vulvar leukoplakia

About 10-30% of patients with vulvar leukoplakia are caused by heredity. The hereditary type of vulvar leukoplakia is mainly atrophic, and the patients are mainly young girls. In clinical practice, the genetic factors should be paid attention to for patients under 15 years old, and it should be checked whether there are patients with vulvar leukoplakia in their parents' family.

2. Endocrine disorders

The endocrine system is a body fluid regulation system composed of endocrine glands and endocrine tissues in certain organs of the human body. The biologically active substances secreted by it include hormones, neuropeptides, amines, etc., which act on target cells and adjacent cells of the human body, thereby regulating the metabolic process and physiological activities such as organ function and growth and development in the body, and maintaining a relatively stable internal environment. The cause of vulvar leukoplakia is manifested as pathological changes in endocrine glands and tissues themselves, or endocrine disorders caused by genetic, enzyme defects, and immune dysfunction, leading to endocrine diseases. Through the determination of labeled thymine, it is believed that there is a protein hormone in the dermis that can inhibit the division and growth of epidermal cells and only acts on the local epidermis with tissue specificity, called chalone, which causes an imbalance between local connective tissue hyperplasia and the stimulation of epidermal metabolism there.
