Is vulvar leukoplakia hereditary? An authoritative doctor says so!

Vulvar leukoplakia usually refers to the appearance of white lesions on the female vulva. Malnutrition is a major contributing factor to the disease. In addition, decreased immunity and reduced sex hormone levels can also lead to vulvar leukoplakia. It is worth mentioning that a small number of patients have inherited vulvar leukoplakia. Science has proven that this disease has a certain degree of heredity.

1. The occurrence of such diseases is actually related to genetics. After all, health is affected by genetics. Many people would not think that the occurrence of vulvar leukoplakia is related to genetics, but it is real. Vulvar leukoplakia affects approximately 10% to 30% of patients. It is caused by genetics. The genetically caused vulvar leukoplakia is mainly atrophic type, and the patients are mainly young girls. In clinical practice, the first thing to pay attention to for patients under 15 years old is genetic factors, and inquire whether there are patients with vulvar leukoplakia in their parents' family.

2. The occurrence of illness is very important in life. Therefore, when faced with such a situation, we must pay attention to the best choice. The inheritance rate of vulvar leukoplakia is relatively high among all gynecological diseases. The probability of giving birth to a baby girl suffering from vulvar leukoplakia in women with a history of vulvar leukoplakia for more than ten years is 3-5 times that of an ordinary baby girl. The probability of giving birth to a baby girl suffering from vulvar leukoplakia in women with a history of vulvar leukoplakia for twenty years is 7 times that of an ordinary baby girl. A series of figures show that vulvar leukoplakia is highly heritable. Female friends need to pay attention to it in the early stages of the disease and receive timely treatment to reduce the chance of inheriting vulvar leukoplakia. This is also a key means to prevent vulvar leukoplakia from becoming cancerous.

3. Vulvar leukoplakia is common in women of childbearing age. Its symptoms are mostly redness, swelling and dryness, which then thickens, turns white, loses elasticity, and the labia minora shrinks, accompanied by varying degrees of itching. The skin surface becomes keratinized, thickened and rough, and cracks and ulcers occur. After treatment, the key still depends on the patient's friends to take care of the vulvar leukoplakia in order to cure it. For the care of female vulvar leukoplakia, vulvar leukoplakia is a common type of gynecological disease among female diseases. Because of its unbearable itching and recurring symptoms, it has become a major intractable disease among gynecological diseases. The examination of vulvar leukoplakia is generally based on the local symptoms of the vulva. The doctor makes a judgment through inspection and touch, and can also use modern instruments for analysis.

4. Vulvar malnutrition is one of the difficult gynecological diseases. Women suffering 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 its canceration rate is only about 2%. The pathogenesis of this disease mainly comes from three reasons:

1. Inherited or skipped generation inheritance.

2. Endocrine deficiency or imbalance.

3. Decreased autoimmune function. This disease is mainly divided into four types: hyperplastic type, simple atrophic type, lichen sclerosis type, and mixed type, and the condition is stubborn and complicated. In mild cases, there is an increase in vaginal discharge and unbearable itching and pain; in severe cases, there is hyperplasia, hardening, and atrophy of the vulva, and there is a decrease in libido or no libido. Especially for patients with simple atrophy (no obvious itching or mild itching), if not treated in time, it may cause urethritis, cystitis, nephritis, etc. Severe cases can lead to atrophy of the vulva, loss of elasticity, complete disappearance of the labia minora on both sides, clitoral adhesions, urethral atrophy, frequent urination, vaginal stenosis, painful sexual intercourse and accompanied by fissures. In the late stage, cancer is prone to occur.
