What factors cause whitening inside the vagina?

A woman's vagina can be said to be a very important place and also a very private place. Precisely because it is the most mysterious part of women, when there is a problem with the vagina, some women will not go to the hospital for treatment due to face-saving. Instead, they take some anti-inflammatory drugs or use vaginal wash to clean the vagina. This practice is very wrong. You should know that some vaginal diseases may be made worse by this method. So, why does the vagina turn white?

Diseases that cause vaginal whitening include vulvar leukoplakia, fungal vulvitis, vulvar dermatitis, and vulvar vitiligo. Fungal vulvitis can cause itching of the vulva and whitening of the vaginal opening in women. Bean-dregs-like secretions can be seen when the disease occurs; vulvar dermatitis can also cause whitening of the vaginal opening, and the vulva is extremely itchy during an attack; vulvar vitiligo is also a relatively common disease. The white area has clear boundaries, and there is generally no itching when the disease occurs; the common symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are whitening of the vulvar and vaginal opening and vulvar itching. Consider suffering from vulvar leukoplakia.

Vulvar leukoplakia usually appears as localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of women's genitals, which can spread to the inner sides of the lower limbs, perineum and anus, but rarely invade the urethral orifice and vestibule. The main symptoms are genital itching, dry skin, thickening and whitening, loss of elasticity, and even atrophy and ulceration, pain and burning sensation. Vulvar leukoplakia can be divided into hyperplastic, atrophic, lichenified and mixed types according to different symptoms.

If you suffer from vulvar leukoplakia, you must seek treatment as soon as possible. General treatment requires controlling blood sugar, adjusting the patient's body through some medications, eating more nutritious foods, and avoiding symptoms of malnutrition. Another thing that needs to be noted is that patients with vulvar leukoplakia should also pay attention to supplementing more vitamins, which is very helpful in curing the disease.
