Lichen sclerosus is one of the types of vulvar leukoplakia

The main symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are tingling or burning sensation in the vulva and the appearance of white patches. Different types of vulvar leukoplakia will have different symptoms, but some symptoms are not obvious and need to be checked. Let's take a look at the symptoms of three different types of vulvar leukoplakia.

1. Lichen sclerosus type: The clinical symptoms of this type of vulvar leukoplakia are mainly vulvar itching, which is milder than that of hyperplastic malnutrition, and sometimes accompanied by pain. If a girl suffers from this disease during her childhood, the main symptoms are local irritation and discomfort after urination, or itching and pain. If this disease occurs during menopause, the skin of the labia majora and minora becomes thinner, with itching and tingling, the vulva atrophies, and the vaginal opening is narrow, causing difficulty in sexual intercourse.

2. Hyperplastic type: The main symptom is unbearable itching of the vulva. Due to frequent scratching or friction, the skin of the labia majora, the groove between the labia majora, and the clitoral hood are obviously raised and thickened, with rough folds. Local epidermal keratinization may also occur, accompanied by scaling or eczema-like changes.

3. Mixed type: It has the characteristics of both types of vulvar leukoplakia. Most of them are characterized by atrophy and thinning of the labia minora and posterior plexus skin, hypopigmentation and whiteness, but focal thickening and bulging of the skin around them, especially the labia majora. The main symptoms are also dryness, itching or tingling of the vulva.
