How is vulva leukoplakia caused?

summary

White lesions of vulva are also called white lesions of vulva, leukoplakia of vulva or dystrophy of vulva. The so-called vulvar leukoplakia actually refers to the disease of tissue degeneration and pigment change caused by vulvar local nerve and vascular dystrophy. Clinically, the skin and mucous membrane of vulva are often whitened and thickened or atrophic diseases, collectively referred to as "vulva leukoplakia". So how is vulvar leukoplakia caused? Now let's talk about it.

How is vulva leukoplakia caused?

Pudendal infection and inflammatory stimulation: This is the main cause of vulvar leukoplakia, which accounts for about 50% of the patients. There are many factors causing vulvar infection and inflammatory stimulation, such as bad hygiene habits, wearing chemical fiber underpants, unclean sanitary products, bathing in baths, swimming in baths, etc., which lead to vaginitis. If it can not be treated in time, inflammatory secretion infiltrates into the perineum, and long-term infection and stimulation will cause skin and mucous membrane damage, redness, swelling, ulcer and degeneration, This will gradually develop into vulvar leukoplakia.

Endocrine disorders: endocrine disorders are caused by pathological changes of endocrine glands and tissues, or by genetic, enzyme defects, immune function and other reasons. Through the determination of thymine labeled with tritium (H3), it is considered that there is a tissue-specific protein hormone in dermis, which can inhibit the division and growth of epidermal cells and only act on the local epidermis. It causes imbalance between the proliferation of local connective tissue and the stimulation of epidermal metabolism, leading to leukoplakia of vulva.

Genetic factors: about 10-30% of patients with vulvar leukoplakia. It is caused by heredity. The vulvar leukoplakia caused by heredity is mainly atrophic, and the patients are mainly young girls. In clinic, patients under 15 years old should first pay attention to genetic factors, and check whether there are patients with vulvar leukoplakia in their parents' families.
