What are the commonly used methods for diagnosing vulvar leukoplakia in women?

Itching, dry skin, thickening and whitening of female genitals are the basis for the diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia. In severe cases, women will have various symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia. Therefore, the diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia is very important. So, what are the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia? The following is an introduction by experts on the diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia.

Because a variety of diseases can cause skin itching and loss or discoloration of pigments, the diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia is different, but it is not easy to distinguish with the naked eye. The following is an introduction to the diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia.

Even if the naked eye can diagnose vulvar leukoplakia, it is not possible to perform pathological typing, especially to detect atypical hyperplasia (precancerous lesions) early. Literature reports that about 50% of vulvar squamous cell carcinomas are often accompanied by vulvar white lesions. What other evidence is there for the diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia?

Therefore, if the lesions are atypical or there are chronic fissures, localized thickening, or ulceration, the diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia must rely on biopsy pathology.

Diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia: Apply 1% toluidine blue to the lesion area first, wait for it to dry, then use 1% acetic acid to decolorize, and use biopsy forceps to perpendicularly touch the skin in the non-decolorized area and reach deep into the dermis to take biopsy. Any non-decolorized area indicates that there are naked nuclei in the area, which suggests that biopsy in this area can improve the accuracy of diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia.
