(A) The symptoms of stage 1 atrophic vulvar leukoplakia are not obvious. Some patients with vulvar leukoplakia have mild itching, no white lesions appear, and the vulva has atrophy that is not easily detected by the naked eye.

(ii) The symptoms of stage 2 atrophic vulvar leukoplakia are more obvious. The vulva has mild atrophy visible to the naked eye, usually starting from the labia majora, minora, and clitoris. The elasticity of the labia majora and minora is reduced, and the surface wrinkles are reduced or absent. The vulvar itching is relatively mild. Due to atrophy, there may be dryness of the vulva and discomfort during sexual intercourse. Patients with vulvar leukoplakia have local hypopigmentation of the vulvar skin, which is in the form of multiple spots or flakes.

(III) The symptoms of stage 3 atrophic vulvar leukoplakia are more severe. In vulvar leukoplakia, the labia majora of the vulva are flat, the labia minora disappear, and the clitoris shrinks and becomes smaller or adheres. The urethral opening atrophies, and in severe cases, urinary incontinence occurs. The vaginal opening atrophies, and sexual intercourse becomes difficult. Some patients with vulvar leukoplakia may also have anal involvement, causing the skin around the anus to have no wrinkles and reduced elasticity, which may cause anal fissures during defecation. About 50% of patients with vulvar leukoplakia have large areas of hypopigmentation on the vulvar skin.

To sum up, this is the analysis and introduction of atrophic vulvar leukoplakia. What do you think after reading it? I hope everyone can pay more attention to it in life and do a good job of prevention. Here, I also wish the patients a speedy recovery.
