Why is the clitoris white?

Many female friends experience vaginal itching or whitening of the clitoris, and may also experience pain. So what causes clitoral discomfort? There are many factors that may cause the clitoris to turn white. Although this is only a minor gynecological disease, it also needs to be taken seriously. First of all, you must pay attention to your own hygiene, so as to reduce the occurrence of gynecological diseases.

Female genital itching may be caused by having sex too early, too frequently, or during menstruation, all of which can cause clitoral itching. So in order to prevent clitoral itching, you have to do these things regularly. In addition, you should pay attention to personal hygiene and develop the habit of washing your vagina every day. It is best to use warm water. You should also pay attention to the washing method. If the method is wrong, it can easily lead to vaginal infection, causing clitoral itching. If none of these problems occur, then you may have a gynecological disease and need to seek medical treatment in time.

The real cause of vaginal whitening is still unclear, but common causes include vulvar eczema, psoriasis and local neurovascular nutritional disorders. Clinically, the causes of the disease are divided into the following types:

1. Lichen sclerosus dystrophy: It can occur at any age, including girls under 10 years old, but is more common in women around 40 years old. The main symptom is itching in the affected area, but it is generally much milder than in proliferative lesions, and sexual intercourse becomes difficult in the late stage.

2. Hyperplastic malnutrition: generally occurs in women aged 30 to 60. The main symptoms are unbearable itching of the vulva, accompanied by local pain after scratching. The range of the lesions varies, mainly affecting the labia majora, interlabial groove, clitoral hood and posterior symphysis, and is often symmetrical.

3. Hyperplastic or mixed type with epithelial atypical hyperplasia: It is generally believed that in hyperplastic and mixed lesions, atypical hyperplasia may occur in only 5 or 10% of cases, and this atypical hyperplasia is limited to the hyperplastic epithelial cell part. Atypical hyperplasia often has no special clinical manifestations, and local tissue biopsy is the only diagnostic method.

This disease may cause difficulties in sexual life in the later stage and may also turn into cancer, so it is worthy of our attention. Patients should achieve early detection and early treatment so that they can receive effective treatment in the early stages of the disease.

Since the main symptoms of this disease are unbearable itching of the vulva accompanied by local pain after scratching, female friends should pay special attention to it. When this situation is discovered, the best solution is to seek medical attention in a timely manner and combine relevant examinations for further diagnosis and treatment. It must be clear that there is a reason for the occurrence of any disease.
