What are the main diagnostic criteria for vulvar leukoplakia?

Many people do not know about vulvar leukoplakia, nor do they know what the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are. Therefore, at this time, we need to learn what the diagnostic basis of vulvar leukoplakia is to avoid misdiagnosis. Now, let's learn about this knowledge together.

1. Symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia include vulvar itching, sometimes with burning and pain. The skin of the affected area is rough, thickened like moss, with scratches, and sometimes with cracks. The affected area of ​​vulvar leukoplakia will have hypopigmentation, and the labia majora and labia minora will generally turn white. Patients with vulvar leukoplakia may have mild atrophy. In severe cases, the clitoris, labia majora and labia minora may atrophy and adhere, and the labia minora may partially or completely disappear. Therefore, these are all diagnostic bases for vulvar leukoplakia.

2. The diagnosis of vulvar leukoplakia should also be based on pathological diagnosis as the final conclusion. Because a variety of diseases can cause skin itching and loss or depigmentation of pigmentation, although the manifestations are different. It has been reported in the literature that about 50% of vulvar squamous cell carcinomas are often accompanied by white lesions of vulvar leukoplakia. Therefore, if the lesions are atypical or there are chronic chapped, localized thickening, and ulceration, it is necessary to rely on biopsy pathological examination to confirm whether the patient has vulvar leukoplakia.

The above is a detailed description of the diagnosis basis of vulvar leukoplakia. I hope it can help everyone better understand the knowledge of vulvar leukoplakia. If you have other questions about vulvar leukoplakia, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
