What is the cause of leukoplakia on the vulva of women?

Many women have problems with their vulva, but many women do not pay attention to this problem, which leads to gynecological diseases that affect women's health. Therefore, when problems arise, it is necessary to consult an expert for treatment in time. So what is the cause of leukoplakia on the vulva of women? Let the experts introduce it to us below.

The causes of vulvar leukoplakia include:

1. Genetics: Genetics only accounts for 20% of the factors that cause vulvar leukoplakia. However, vulvar leukoplakia caused by genetic factors cannot be ignored, because genetically caused vulvar leukoplakia is mainly atrophic type, and most patients are underage girls. Therefore, in clinical practice, patients under the age of fifteen should first be analyzed to see whether there are genetic factors.

2. Gynecological inflammation In addition to causing the appearance of various symptoms, gynecological inflammation can also cause local nerve and blood vessel damage, Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, cervical erosion and other inflammations, which can cause increased vulvar secretions and leucorrhea degeneration, long-term stimulation of the vulva, and cause vulvar leukoplakia. Therefore, this is one of the causes of vulvar leukoplakia in women.

3. In addition to the above two types of trauma, some pregnant women have perineal tears during delivery, causing local nerve and blood vessel damage, and a small number of women develop vulvar leukoplakia as a result. It indirectly explains that trauma may also lead to the occurrence of vulvar leukoplakia. Vulvar leukoplakia is a chronic disease that can occur at any age, but most people experience it during menopause around the age of 50. The course of the disease varies, and it can last for decades in the elderly. Vulvar leukoplakia is often accompanied by itching and pain. In severe cases, it can affect sexual life and cause vulvar atrophy. There is also a chance of inducing vulvar cancer, which, although very small, should still be taken seriously.

The above is the expert’s opinion on this issue that he introduced to us. Only by checking and treating according to the above methods can we ensure the patient’s health and avoid harm to the patient’s health. We must ensure that the patient receives timely treatment and avoid health problems that harm the patient. We must consult experts in time to solve the problem. Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
