What causes vulvar malnutrition?

Women's private parts are more sensitive and fragile, prone to symptoms such as itching and pain. Vulvar malnutrition is a relatively common disease. This situation must not be taken lightly. There are three main causes of vulvar malnutrition: genetic factors, genital infections, and other diseases. If vulvar malnutrition occurs, it must be treated in time and regular conditioning is required.

1. Genetic factors

10% to 30% of patients with vulvar leukoplakia are caused by genetics. The main type of vulvar leukoplakia caused by genetics is atrophic, and the patients are mainly young girls. In clinical practice, the first thing to pay attention to for patients under 15 years old is genetic factors, and check whether there are patients with vulvar leukoplakia in their parents' family.

2. Vaginal infection and inflammatory stimulation

This is the main cause of vulvar leukoplakia, accounting for about 50% of patients. If vaginal inflammation is not treated in time, inflammatory secretions will infiltrate the perineum. If this continues for a long time, the skin and mucous membranes will be damaged, causing redness, swelling, ulcers and degeneration, which will gradually develop into vulvar leukoplakia.

3. Other diseases

If patients with diabetes, vitiligo, vulvar eczema, etc. abuse drugs and receive improper treatment, it may also cause or aggravate the formation and development of vitiligo.

Women with vulvar dystrophy usually do not see anything unusual when examining their vaginal discharge. Only by carefully observing the patient's vulva can you find that its color is lighter than that of a healthy woman. Some patients may also have chapped vulva, or obvious labia atrophy or lichen-like changes.

Itch - Extreme itching of the vulva

"Feeling extremely itchy" is a common feeling among many patients with vulvar dystrophy, and most of the patients who go to the hospital for treatment have been troubled by this "itching" for a long time. Although some female patients are temporarily distracted by work and other matters during the day, the itching will become "violent" at night, tormenting them and making it difficult for them to sleep.

When patients scratch themselves, they may touch the thicker nerve fibers of the vulva, which may make them feel more comfortable at the time. However, this practice can also easily damage the nerves in the skin, causing symptoms such as skin lesions, thickening, and cracking, thus falling into a vicious cycle of "the more they scratch, the more itchy it becomes, and the more itchy it becomes, the more they scratch."
