Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I've also been feeling itchy externally. After a check-up, they said it's leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not familiar with this condition, so I'd like to ask: How is vulvar leukoplakia formed?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal Infection and Inflammatory Irritation: There are many causes of leukoplakia of the vulva, such as poor hygiene habits, wearing synthetic underwear, unclean hygiene products, soaking in public baths, and ice skating in bathhouses. These are the main factors contributing to the cause of leukoplakia of the vulva.Generational Hereditary Factors: This is caused by generational inheritance. Leukoplakia of the vulva caused by generational inheritance is based on an inflammatory type, with patients primarily being young girls. This can be considered one of the causes of leukoplakia of the vulva.
Endocrine Disorders: This is due to pathological changes that occur in the endocrine glands and tissues themselves, or as a result of generational inheritance, enzyme deficiencies, and immune function issues, among other reasons, leading to endocrine disorders.
