What are the dangers of vulvar leukoplakia

Vulvar leukoplakia is a common gynecological disease. It occurs when the vagina is infected with bacteria or inflammatory stimulation. It mainly occurs in middle-aged women after the age of 50. It can be treated with appropriate medications, microwaves, high-frequency electric knives, surgery and other methods. Frequent cleaning of the private parts, paying attention to personal hygiene, and not abusing antibiotics and hormone drugs can prevent vulvar leukoplakia. What are the dangers of vulvar leukoplakia?

1. Hereditary, affecting the next generation. Vulvar leukoplakia is somewhat hereditary, which is the primary reason why young girls suffer from vulvar leukoplakia. Although there are many cutting-edge international treatments that can successfully cure vulvar leukoplakia, if a young girl suffers from this disease, due to her age, she does not have a certain self-care ability, so the treatment is relatively difficult and the treatment cycle is long.

2. Difficult delivery. For women who have not given birth, vulvar leukoplakia can narrow the vaginal opening, making childbirth difficult. At the same time, some pathogens may infect the fetus during delivery, causing various adverse consequences. Therefore, if a pregnant woman with vulvar leukoplakia wants to give birth, the doctor will recommend a caesarean section.

3. Difficulty urinating. This is one of the more common hazards brought by vulvar leukoplakia. Vulvar leukoplakia can cause the skin and mucous membranes to be either light red or rough, with cracks, ulcers, erosions, etc., or it may become hard and lose elasticity, leading to difficulty in urination.

4. Seriously affect the sexual life of couples. Vulvar leukoplakia can cause the surface of the white spots to thicken or become very smooth, the skin at the lesions to become dry and lose elasticity, the patient's pubic hair will become sparse or fall off, and the vaginal opening will become narrow, which will affect the quality of sexual life if not treated in time.

5. Cause difficulties in delivery. Because the vaginal opening becomes narrow, it becomes very difficult for some female patients who have never given birth to give birth to a fetus through the vagina, and bacteria may infect the fetus during delivery, causing serious consequences.

6. Cancer. If vulvar leukoplakia is not effectively treated for a long time, when the condition becomes serious, it will turn into cancer, such as vulvar cancer, threatening the lives of female friends.
