What is the cause of vulvar leukoplakia itching

Vulvar leukoplakia and itching are relatively rare in life, and many female friends think it is leucorrhea, so you often ignore the treatment of this disease. In fact, vulvar leukoplakia is caused by anaplastic malnutrition or lichen sclerosus malnutrition. I hope that female friends can adjust their diet according to the doctor's advice in their lives to keep the itching of vulvar leukoplakia away from you as soon as possible.

White lesions of the vulva are also called white lesions of the vulva, leukoplakia of the vulva, or vulvar dystrophy. The so-called vulvar leukoplakia actually refers to a disease of tissue degeneration and pigment changes caused by local nerve and vascular nutrition disorders in the vulva. Clinically, diseases in which the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva become white, coarse, or atrophic are collectively referred to as "vulvar leukoplakia."

The main symptom is severe itching of the vulva. The itching may last from 2 to 3 months from onset to treatment, or as long as 20 years. The severity of the itching is not affected by season or day or night. If accompanied by trichomoniasis or candidal vaginitis, there will be more secretions, and local burning and tingling are related to the damage or infection of the skin and mucous membranes caused by the itching. There are varying degrees of local hypopigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes, and there is often edema, chapped skin and scattered superficial ulcers.

1. Hyperplastic malnutrition generally occurs in women aged 30 to 60 years old. The main symptoms are unbearable itching of the vulva, which is aggravated by scratching. The range of lesions varies, mainly affecting the labia majora, interlabial groove, clitoral hood and posterior symphysis. They are mostly symmetrical. The affected skin is thickened like leather, with raised wrinkles, or scales and eczema-like changes. The surface color is mostly dark red or pink, mixed with clearly defined white patches, and generally without atrophy or adhesion.

2. Lichen sclerosus malnutrition can be seen at any age, but is more common in women around 40 years old. The main symptom is itching in the lesion area, but it is generally much milder than the proliferative lesions. In the late stage, sexual intercourse becomes difficult. The lesions involve the vulvar skin, mucous membranes and skin around the anus. In addition to the skin or mucous membranes turning white, thin, dry and easy to crack, they also lose elasticity. The clitoris is often atrophied and adhered to the foreskin, and the labia minora is flat and disappears. In the late stage, the skin is thin and wrinkled like cigarette paper, and the vaginal opening is contracted and narrow, only allowing fingertips to fit. Young girls who suffer from this disease often feel discomfort in the vulva and perianal area after urinating or defecating, and keyhole-shaped, pearly yellow or white lesions appear in the vulva and perianal area. The lesions usually disappear on their own by the time they reach puberty.
