What is vulvar leukoplakia and what to do

Vulvar leukoplakia generally refers to localized or diffuse white patches on the skin of the female genitals, which can spread to the inner sides of the lower limbs, perineum and anus, but rarely invade the urethral opening and vestibule. The causes of vulvar leukoplakia may be due to lack of attention to vulvar hygiene, genetics, trauma, endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, etc. If the symptoms persist, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, and targeted drug treatment can be given under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Not paying attention to vulvar hygiene: If women do not pay attention to vulvar hygiene, it may cause hormone disorders in the body, leading to endocrine disorders, thus inducing vulvar leukoplakia. It is recommended to use berberine lotion, compound phellodendron lotion, etc. according to the doctor's advice.

2. Genetics: Genetics accounts for a small proportion of the factors that cause vulvar leukoplakia, but vulvar leukoplakia caused by genetic factors cannot be ignored, because the vulvar leukoplakia caused by genetics is mainly atrophic, and most patients are underage girls. It is recommended to keep the vulva clean and avoid using irritating lotions to clean the vulva. Use tacrolimus ointment, bimelimus ointment, etc. as prescribed by the doctor.

3. Trauma: Some pregnant women have perineal tears during childbirth, causing local nerve and blood vessel damage. A small number of pregnant women develop vulvar leukoplakia as a result. It is recommended to pay attention to the cleaning and care of the wound to avoid infection. Use Kangfuxin liquid, recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel, etc. as prescribed by the doctor.

4. Endocrine disorders: Endocrine disorders caused by pathological changes or genetic, enzyme defects, immune function and other reasons lead to endocrine diseases, which cause imbalance between local connective tissue hyperplasia and the stimulation of epidermal metabolism, leading to the occurrence of vulvar leukoplakia. It is recommended to adjust your work and rest schedule and relax. Use compound medroxyprogesterone acetate capsules, estradiol valerate tablets, etc. as prescribed by the doctor.

5. Gynecological inflammation: Gynecological inflammation such as trichomoniasis vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, cervical erosion and other inflammations can cause local nerve and blood vessel damage, long-term stimulation of the vulva, and cause vulvar leukoplakia. It is recommended to use metronidazole suppositories, clotrimazole suppositories, etc. according to the doctor's advice.

In daily life, it is recommended to pay attention to diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more foods containing trace elements to improve physical condition. Choose loose cotton underwear and avoid wearing tight underwear.
