Knowing the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia can help detect the patient's condition in time

Now, I believe that many people have a certain understanding of the disease of vulvar leukoplakia and are relatively clear about its harm. However, most patients ignore the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia, which leads to the continuous aggravation of their condition and makes it impossible to cure in the later stage. Therefore, we must first understand the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia in order to detect the disease in time. Let's take a look at the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia.

Symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia include:

1. The skin is rough, thickened and scratched, and sometimes chapped. Local pigmentation is reduced, and the labia majora and labia minora generally turn white. Mild atrophy can be seen on the vulva. In severe cases, the clitoris, labia majora and labia minora shrink and adhere, and the labia minora partially or completely disappears, and then tightens. The vaginal opening is narrow and loses elasticity, and even affects urination and sexual life. These symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia are relatively common.

2. Local burning pain: especially the clitoris and labia minora are very sensitive. In the early stage, the keratinization of the part is excessive, and the skin is infiltrated. The vulvar skin and mucosa appear localized or diffuse white thickening like leather, raised with wrinkles or scales, eczema-like changes. This is a more obvious manifestation of the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia.

3. Vulvar itching: It is especially severe at night. The degree of itching is related to time, menstruation, climate, food, environment, and mood. Itching usually occurs intermittently, and patients often scratch because of the itching. Due to scratching, there are many scratches and swelling in the vulva. As a result of long-term itching, local ulceration, chapped, ulcerated and secondary infection occur. This is also a symptom of vulvar leukoplakia.

The above content is the symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia. I hope everyone can understand them one by one. As long as you know these symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia, patients can detect the disease as early as possible, which of course helps with regular treatment. So if you want patients to recover soon, please be more vigilant about the above symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
