To treat vulvar leukoplakia, you must be prepared to fight a "protracted war"

What are the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia? Because the cause is unknown, there is no specific treatment. The symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia can tell whether you have vulvar leukoplakia, so what are the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia?

Vulvar leukoplakia is caused by thickening of the epidermis, loss of pigmentation in the basal layer of the epidermis, and reduction of blood vessels in the superficial dermis, which causes the skin or mucous membrane of the vulva to lose color or turn white. Women who suffer from "vulvar leukoplakia" are very scared and wonder if it is a precancerous lesion. In recent years, a large number of clinical experiments have confirmed that the cancer rate is only about 5%.

In 1975, the International Vulvar Disease Research Association decided to cancel the name "vulvar leukoplakia" and call the disease "vulvar white lesions" or "chronic vulvar dystrophy". The cause of the disease is unknown, but it is said to be related to the presence of a hormone in the dermis that can inhibit the division and growth of epidermal cells. This hormone can cause an imbalance between local connective tissue hyperplasia and metabolic stimulants. Clinically, it can be divided into three types: proliferative vulvar dystrophy, lichen sclerosus vulvar dystrophy, and mixed type.

Patients with vulvar leukoplakia usually do not know that their skin has turned white because they have no feeling. Instead, they are discovered by doctors. Some patients discover it when they visit doctors because of vulvar itching. The symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are usually accompanied by severe itching, which can last for several months or even 20 years. This itching is unbearable regardless of season and day or night. If accompanied by trichomonas vaginitis or candidal vaginitis, the itching will be aggravated.

Why does the skin of the vulva turn white? The reason is still unclear, but it is clear that when certain diseases occur in the vulva skin, the epidermis in the affected area is over-keratinized, and the melanocytes in the skin decrease, and the color turns white. The symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are that some of the skin symptoms in the affected area are thickened and leathery; some are thinned, dry and easy to crack, and even ulcers and nodules appear. If the skin of the vulva turns white, whether it itches or not, you should go to the hospital for examination, especially if the skin is thickened, rough, raised, ulcerated, cracked, or hardened, you should be more vigilant, and surgical treatment can be performed if necessary.

Usually, you should keep it clean and dry, avoid using soap or irritating drugs to clean the vulva, and avoid eating spicy or irritating foods. Clothes should be loose and changed frequently, and you should also wear soft cotton products.

The above is about the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia. Experts suggest that patients should keep their vulva clean and dry for a long time while adhering to long-term treatment, not wear too tight underwear, not wear synthetic underwear with poor permeability, and eat less allergenic foods. For the sake of your own health, some details are still essential.
