What are the main causes of vulvar leukoplakia?

What are the main causes of vulvar leukoplakia? I believe many people have this question. Only when we understand the cause can we carry out more targeted treatment. Let us follow the experts to understand the causes of vulvar leukoplakia .

1. Vaginal infection and inflammatory stimulation: This is one of the main causes of vulvar leukoplakia, accounting for about 50% of patients. There are many factors that cause vulvar infection and inflammatory stimulation, such as poor hygiene habits, not often using pH4 weak acid formula feminine care liquid to clean the vulva, wearing chemical fiber 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, or by genetics, enzyme defects, immune function and other reasons. Through the determination of tritium (H3) 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 inhibitor, which causes an imbalance between the local connective tissue hyperplasia and the stimulation of epidermal metabolism, leading to 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 abuse of drugs, improper treatment, may also lead to or aggravate the formation and development of leukoplakia. This is also the cause of vulvar leukoplakia.
