It is divided into three types: hyperplastic type, sclerosing lichen type and mixed type.

The canceration rate of vulvar leukoplakia is 1% to 5%. Modern Western medicine currently lacks an ideal treatment method.

There is no specific name for vulvar leukoplakia in traditional Chinese medicine. According to the symptoms, it can be classified into the categories of "vulvar itch", "vulvar blisters", "vulvar erosion" and so on.
