What are the late symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia

As we all know, if a disease can be discovered in the early stages and receives effective treatment, it can be cured quickly. However, if it is delayed to the late stages, it will be more troublesome. The disease has developed very seriously and there are many obstacles to treatment. Everyone needs to pay attention to it. Next, we will introduce to you in detail the late-stage symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia.

The main symptom is severe itching of the vulva. The itching may last from 2 to 3 months from onset to treatment, or even up to 20 years. The severity of the itching is not affected by season or day or night. Patients with vulvar squamous hyperplasia may experience more severe itching. If accompanied by trichomoniasis or candidal vaginitis, the secretions will be more, and the local burning, stinging and itching are related to the damage or infection of the skin and mucous membranes. There is varying degrees of local hypopigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes, often with edema, chapped skin and scattered superficial ulcers.

Patients with vulvar leukoplakia may experience symptoms such as whitening of the vulvar skin and mucous membranes, or alternation with light red during the illness. The main manifestation is that the surface of the vulva becomes rough and uneven, and there are cracks, ulcers, erosions, or hardening and loss of elasticity, which can cause difficulty in urination. Some patients with vulvar leukoplakia will experience some local thinning of the skin and mucous membranes during the illness, and there is also the possibility of swelling and edema. The labia majora and minora will atrophy or even disappear, making the vaginal opening narrower, which can cause difficulties in sexual life and may also cause difficulties in childbirth and require cesarean section.

The above content is an introduction to the late-stage symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia. In the late stage, vulvar leukoplakia will have a greater impact on patients. Because the genitals are private parts, pain and itching will seriously affect our normal life. Once the disease develops to the late stage, everyone needs to insist on receiving treatment in a regular hospital.
