What are the main causes of vulvar leukoplakia?

What are the main causes of vulvar leukoplakia? I believe many people have this question. Many patients suffer from vulvar leukoplakia but don’t know why they get it. Let us learn about the causes of vulvar leukoplakia .

1. Vulvar infection and inflammatory stimulation: This is one of the main causes of vulvar leukoplakia, accounting for about 50% of the patients. There are many factors that cause vulvar infection and inflammatory stimulation, such as poor hygiene habits, wearing synthetic underwear, unclean hygiene 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 endocrine disorders caused by genetics, enzyme defects, immune function, etc. 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 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, we should first pay attention to genetic factors for patients under 15 years old, and inquire whether there are patients with vulvar leukoplakia in their parents' family. This is also one of the causes of 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.

The above is an introduction to the causes of vulvar leukoplakia. Through the above content, have you learned about the relevant knowledge of vulvar leukoplakia? I hope the above content can help you, and I also hope that patients can actively treat and recover soon!
