What is the cause of vulvar leukoplakia

The so-called vulvar leukoplakia actually refers to a disease in which local nerve and blood vessel nutrition disorders of the vulva cause tissue degeneration and pigment changes. Clinically, the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva become white, coarse or atrophic, and are collectively referred to as "vulvar leukoplakia". So what causes vulvar leukoplakia ?

1. Vulvar infection and inflammatory stimulation: This is the main cause of vulvar leukoplakia, accounting for about 50% of the patients. There are many factors that cause vulvar infection and inflammatory stimulation, such as wearing synthetic underwear, unclean sanitary products, bathing in a bathhouse, swimming in a bathhouse, etc., which lead to vaginal inflammation. If it is not treated in time, the inflammatory secretion will infiltrate the perineum, and long-term infection and stimulation will damage the skin and mucous membranes, causing redness, swelling, ulcers and degeneration, which will gradually develop into vulvar leukoplakia.

2. Endocrine disorders: Endocrine diseases are caused by pathological changes in endocrine glands and tissues themselves, or by endocrine disorders caused by genetics, enzyme defects, immune function, etc. Through the determination of tritium (H3) labeled thymidine, 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 inhibitor, which causes an imbalance between the local connective tissue hyperplasia and the stimulation of epidermal metabolism, leading to the occurrence of vulvar leukoplakia.

3. Genetic factors: About 10-30% of patients with vulvar leukoplakia are caused by heredity. Heredity-induced vulvar leukoplakia is mainly atrophic, and the patients are mainly young girls. In clinical practice, genetic factors should be paid attention to for patients under 15 years old, and their parents' family should be checked to see if there are patients with vulvar leukoplakia.

4. Other diseases: such as diabetes, vitiligo, vulvar eczema, vulvar itching, etc., if the drugs are abused or the treatment is improper, it may also cause or aggravate the formation and development of vitiligo.

There are many reasons for vulvar leukoplakia, but the main reason is vaginal infection and inflammation. Therefore, female friends must pay more attention in their daily lives to reduce the occurrence of infection and vaginal inflammation. This requires starting from hygiene, diet and other aspects.

The above is the introduction to the occurrence of vulvar leukoplakia, I hope it can help everyone. To treat vulvar leukoplakia, we still have to choose a regular large hospital to ensure early recovery.
