The four manifestations of hyperplastic vulvar leukoplakia are as follows:

Severe itching: Patients with vulvar leukoplakia often feel paroxysmal and unbearable itching in the vulva, as if a hole is piercing their heart, and the itching worsens at night, accompanied by burning, dryness and other discomforts. Due to the unbearable itching, many women can't help scratching with their hands, which will eventually lead to redness, swelling and ulceration.

2. Accelerated keratinization: Keratinosis and hyperplasia occur in the lesion area of ​​the vulva, and mild hypopigmentation appears on the inner side of the labia majora and minora, which are distributed in the local skin of the vulva in the form of dots or small white papules, showing frosty whiteness.

3. Pain and erosion: Due to the severe hyperkeratosis of the vulvar skin, the repeated shedding of the vulvar keratin layer and the scratching of women due to itching can also cause vulvar irritation, edema, fissures, ulceration and erosion, itching accompanied by pain, and the symptoms are severe.

4. Loss of elasticity: This is because patients with hyperplastic and atrophic types of vulvar leukoplakia will develop mixed symptoms of the two types in the middle to late stages of the disease, resulting in flat labia majora, disappearance of labia minora, atrophy or adhesion of the clitoris, difficulty in sexual life, and in a few cases, the skin around the anus may become wrinkle-free and have reduced elasticity, causing anal fissures during defecation.
