What is vulvar leukoplakia pictures

Many women may have experienced itching in the private parts, and some women will find that the itchy area is different in color from other areas and will appear white. They finally went to the hospital for examination and found that it was vulvar leukoplakia. But many women do not understand this disease, and do not know what the symptoms and harm are. So what is vulvar leukoplakia?

Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease characterized by the loss of pigmentation in part of the skin of the private parts, which leads to whitening, thickening, and scaling of the mucous membrane. Severe cases may also experience gradual shrinkage and disappearance of the labia majora. The cause of the disease may be related to drug stimulation and gynecological diseases. These irritating factors destroy the normal reproductive balance, thus causing white discoloration of organs and organ skin. There are four key symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia.

1. Color change: The most obvious symptom of vulvar leukoplakia is the whitening of the skin in the private parts. At the beginning, it may be due to a decrease in melanin and a whitish color. In the middle and late stages, it may directly appear gray or dark blue. In addition, the shape and size of the skin lesions in the private parts are different.

2. Unbearable itching: Vulvar leukoplakia will also have intermittent itching symptoms, especially at night, the itching symptoms will be more severe. At the same time, the degree of itching is also closely related to the season, diet, and mentality. Many patients scratch unconsciously because they can't stand the itching.

3. Vulvar pain: Excessive itching caused by leukoplakia of the vulva will cause the patient to scratch excessively, resulting in ulceration and even secondary infection of the wound. At this time, the patient will not only experience severe itching, but also burning and pain, which are concentrated in the clitoris and vulva.

4. Vulvar atrophy: With the development of vulvar leukoplakia, the private parts will shrink directly. At first, there is only slight shrinkage, but in the later stages, when the situation becomes serious, the clitoris and labia majora and minora will shrink at the same time and will continue to adhere to each other. Eventually, they will tighten together in a coordinated manner, resulting in a smaller space inside the vulva and a loss of elasticity.
