What are the types of atrophic vulvar leukoplakia?

What types of atrophic vulvar leukoplakia can be divided into? I believe many people have this question. Different types of vulvar leukoplakia have different symptoms and treatments. Let us follow the experts to learn about the classification of atrophic vulvar leukoplakia .

Stage 1 atrophic type: The main symptoms are not obvious, some patients have mild itching, no white lesions appear, and the vulva has atrophy that is not easy to be seen by the naked eye. This is one of the types of atrophic vulvar leukoplakia.

Stage 2 atrophy: Typical symptoms are mild visible atrophy of the vulva, usually starting from the labia majora, minora, and clitoris. The labia majora and minora have reduced elasticity, and the surface wrinkles are reduced or absent. Vulvar pruritus is relatively mild. Due to atrophy, there may be dryness of the vulva and discomfort during sexual intercourse. Localized hypopigmentation of the vulvar skin occurs in multiple spots or flakes.

Stage 3 atrophic type: symptoms are severe. The labia majora of the vulva are flat, the labia minora disappear, and the clitoris shrinks and becomes smaller or adheres. The urethral opening shrinks, and in severe cases, urinary incontinence occurs. The vaginal opening shrinks, and sexual life becomes difficult. Some patients have anal involvement, causing the skin around the anus to have no wrinkles, reduced elasticity, and anal fissures during defecation. About 50% of patients have large areas of hypopigmentation on the vulvar skin. This is also the classification of atrophic vulvar leukoplakia.
