Does female vulvar leukoplakia affect pregnancy?

Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that needs to be taken seriously by female friends, because it is often caused by the metabolic stimulation of the body's epidermis, or by the long-term effects of disorders and some inflammatory problems. If vulvar leukoplakia is caused by some gynecological inflammation, it will affect pregnancy.

1. Endocrine disorders will occur in the early stages. According to medical identification, it is believed that there is a protein hormone in the dermis that can inhibit the division and growth of epidermal cells and only acts locally on the epidermis with tissue specificity. It is called inhibin, which causes an imbalance between local connective tissue hyperplasia and the stimulation of epidermal metabolism there.

2. Inflammatory stimulation. Long-term inflammation irritates the vulva, causing vulvar leukoplakia.

3. Caused by genetic factors. About 10-30% of patients with vulvar leukoplakia are caused by genetics. Genetically caused vulvar leukoplakia is mainly atrophic type, 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 inquire whether there are patients with vulvar leukoplakia in their parents' family.

4. Caused by external trauma in women. During childbirth, the perineum of pregnant women may be torn, causing local nerve and blood vessel damage, and a small number of women may develop vulvar leukoplakia as a result.

5. Vulvar leukoplakia is actually a common gynecological disease. It is not contagious or hereditary, so it has no effect on fertility. However, we must treat it in time after we discover it. If vulvar leukoplakia lasts for a long time and affects urination and causes vaginal atrophy, it will affect normal delivery and have a certain impact on the fetus.
