What is the cause of vulvar leukoplakia

Many women do not know about vulvar leukoplakia. In fact, in clinical practice, vulvar leukoplakia is also a gynecological disease, but it is not very common. So, what is the cause of vulvar leukoplakia ? Let's learn more about it in the following article.

1. The main cause of vulvar leukoplakia is endocrine disorders. The endocrine system is composed of endocrine glands and endocrine tissues in certain organs of the human body. The biologically active substances secreted by them include hormones, neuropeptides, amines, etc., which act on the target cells and adjacent cells of the human body. Vulvar leukoplakia occurs due to pathological changes in endocrine glands and tissues themselves, or due to genetics, enzyme defects, and immune function.

2. About 10-30% of patients have hereditary vulvar leukoplakia, which is a relatively rare cause of vulvar leukoplakia. Hereditary vulvar leukoplakia is mainly atrophic, and patients with vulvar leukoplakia are mainly young girls. In clinical practice, for patients with vulvar leukoplakia under 15 years old, we should first pay attention to genetic factors, inquire whether there are patients with vulvar leukoplakia in their parents' family, and then treat them after diagnosis.

3. The cause of vulvar leukoplakia is also related to other diseases, such as vitiligo combined with vulvar leukoplakia, which accounts for about 5% of vulvar leukoplakia patients. Some cases are uterine fibroids combined with vulvar leukoplakia. In clinical practice, attention should be paid to examination and diagnosis, so as to detect and treat uterine fibroids early.

The above is a detailed description of the factors that cause vulvar leukoplakia. I hope it can help everyone understand the knowledge of vulvar leukoplakia in this regard. If you have other questions about vulvar leukoplakia, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
